For over two decades, Todd Murphy has explored artistic techniques that combine sculpture, painting and photography. Assemblage is an important aspect of his work – Murphy re-contextualizes ramshackle objects and curios from thrift shops to discover their buried language.
Like a 19th-century Naturalist, Murphy's practice involves intensive research trips to document wildlife and landscapes. His alchemy of materials and recurring motifs connect the viewer to literature, dance, couture, and mythology.
For his inaugural New York show with MARC STRAUS, Murphy will present work that explores themes of time, history and fantasy. The installation will feature dress assemblages that stand eight-feet tall with theatrical lighting and video content.
