UPCOMING EXHIBITION

MATT MURPHY: DAY TRIP

March 28-May 3rd

DAY TRIP investigates the moment before arrival rather than the destination. Matt Murphy presents a series of 15 paintings, each a meditation on color and perspective, which invite us to sit still inside a place where time slows, eyes widen and expectations buzz with newness. Through stripped-back landscapes and distilled forms, each work evokes the essence of a place not yet reached and a moment yet to unfold.

Matt Murphy (b. 1976) is multi-disciplinary artist based in LA who embraces diverse and dynamic mediums including street performance, graphic design, sculpture and drawing. His core focus over the last seven years has been painting—specifically landscapes. Inspired by the universality of ambient light, each painting is equal parts observed and manufactured, re-imagining optical effects from nature through his masterful hand-layering of paint while distilling landscapes into their simplest, most evocative forms. This is Murphy’s fourth solo exhibition.
