The Art of Patrick Murphy
Patrick Murphy
Emotion is often a very important component of artistic expression.
Some artists allow emotion to colour their work, while others purposefully imbue their work with an unmistakable force of emotion. Irish artist Patrick J Murphy, on the other hand, paints emotion, pure and simple. It is not the motivator, nor the energiser of subject ~ it is the subject itself.
In his contemporary works of art, Patrick J Murphy uses the medium of oil paint to present to the viewer the quintessential moment
of human affections, passions and pains of our existence. Through line, colour and juxtaposition of elements, Belfast artist Patrick J Murphy
is able to accomplish his simple yet profound goal; to evoke with beauty, sensitivity and power,
an honest and empathetic response to his work, through a visual language that is comprehensible to all his viewers. EXHIBITIONS: Patrick exhibited and sold his work extensively throughout Ireland during the 90's and has also
built an international artistic reputation, his work selling to buyers from around the world. The new millennium began with a major exhibition at the Agora Gallery on Broadway in New York.
