Artist Reception Sunday, July 13, 2pm to 5pm

Please join for a solo show of paintings by Michael Murphy. His dynamic paintings of real and imagined interpretations of iconic architecture many of San Francisco and Southern California.

From the artist:

“My work is inspired by architecture, built and imagined. Formally educated and trained as an architect I have taken a professional detour and attempted to re-imagine the built landscape via personal design studies and various avenues of rendering. I am originally from San Francisco and having spent many years living in London, England. I developed an acute desire to interpret the vastness and solitude of the California deserts and to interject it with a personal interpretation of modern architecture and memory. Upon returning to San Francisco in 2008, I continued this endeavor and was able to reabsorb the influences of the built environment around us firsthand and present my interpretations via varied rendering styles and sometimes scaleless environments coupled with a non-cynical acknowledgment of American consumerism.”
