Colorado Artist Jim Murphy featured in Agora Gallery, NYC

[email protected] March 21, 2014

Chelsea’s Agora Gallery in NY will feature the original work of Colorado artist Jim Murphy in Mélange of Milieu. The exhibitions open on March 4, 2014 and run until March 25, 2014. The opening reception will take place on the evening of Thursday, March 6, 2014.

A native of Limerick, Ireland, Jim Murphy’s inspiration grew out of a love for his Irish countryside, and the natural wonders found in Arizona, Utah and the Badlands in South Dakota. His keen eye effortlessly captures the seductive beauty and pristine character of nature. Through skilled lens work and an artist’s eye for composition, Murphy delves deep into each subject, bringing forth a narrative that reminds us of nature’s frailty and power. Colors and perspective play a key role in each presentation, revealing nuance and emotional subtexts that convey both solace and substance.

Murphy’s passion for capturing and protecting nature for future generations is evident in his portrayals of big skies and wide-open spaces. Many patrons often mistake his work for paintings, the result of refined techniques. Among these, the use of Duraplaq float mounting, which has no glass and a 1/4” beveled edge, allowing images to run edge-to-edge. Adding technique to artistry, Murphy typically prints his photographs on metallic paper, resulting in intense, lifelike colors to create images of almost uncanny 3D realism.
