CHRISTOPHER MURPHY
VIEW PAINTINGS
Christopher Murphy’s paintings exist in a space between real and surreal. This new series is exquisitely painted figurative realism at first glance. At second glance, that reality splinters into questions about what is being depicted. Painted during the complicated last three years, these paintings are a visual representation of the lived experience of recent history. What appears at first glance to be groups of people, upon closer inspection reveals to be the same person repeated in different positions and at different angles. The paintings then become about an inner conversation - about the experience of being within a many-sided monologue.
