Brendan Murphy

Biografi
BRENDAN MURPHY (f. 1971) er en amerikansk samtidskunstner hvis verk finnes i fremtredende private samlinger og gallerier verden rundt. Murphy har utviklet et særegent kunstneriske uttrykk hvor abstrakte og figurative former blandes, gjerne i samspill med tekstelementer og symboler.
Murphy ble født i Bloomington, Indiana, men vokste opp i Providence, Rhode Island. Hans kunstneriske karriere begynte i New York, hvor han gikk i lære hos Erich Fischl, David Salle og Ross Bleckner. Deres innflytelse er tydelig i Murphys beherskelse av farger og eksperimentering med form.
Tematisk utforsker Murphy samspillet mellom skjønnhet, makt og behovet for å forstå livets energier. Murphy er særlig inspirert av kunstens potensial til å overføre positiv energi, og effekten denne energien har på samfunnet som helhet.
Murphy arbeider fra studioene sine i California og New York. Hans arbeider er representert i over 500 private samlinger, og har vært vist i museet og gallerier verden over.
