“Like a painter with a palette covered with oil paint, Murphy uses computer code to deepen a blue or lighten a red. The ambition<\/strong> in Murphy’s project is to recreate the qualities of abstract painting and sculpture with the completely miraculous yet banal materials of coffee carts & 99 cent store advertising. Murphy gently moves<\/strong> us towards human warmth <\/strong>through plastic advertising panels, binary computer code, and his respect<\/strong> for labor and craft.”

\non the wall, ‘Open Circuit’ . . absolutely stunning: the minimalism, the height, the curious elongated shape, the other-worldliness in a simple skinny, skinny arc. an animated gesture, a kind of primal right-angled, steep roofed . . brushstroke – which shifts gently between the pink \/ blue colors of our American sunset.
\nnote: the brightly colored reflective light – thrown upon the gallery floor.<\/p>\n

LUKE MURPHY: ‘These new works try to get at the thingness<\/strong> of light images.I am trying to get at that emotional or psychological response <\/strong> that painting, and sculpture can produce – that kind of urgent<\/strong> beauty or aching that has no locale & inexorably compels more looking and thinking , which doogotal images sometimes fail to achieve.”
