Art Exhibition – Ian Murphy: The Light Within

Artist Ian Murphy travels internationally  with his sketchbook, capturing the essence of places he discovers – places that exude the qualities of neglect and abandonment – in a way that shows the ‘beauty in imperfections.’ His paintings not only embody the history of the site but also symbolise the importance of how people exist within their communities.

The presence of a hidden light source is an important ingredient which gently manipulates the audience into wanting to ‘walk in’ to the painting, trying to follow an enticing journey through to the inner courtyard or through a partially obscured passageway. This  exhibition will show recent work from visits to Venice and Asia, which will be for sale.

Artist talk Sunday 11th January at 2pm. The exhibition is open  Sundays to Fridays 10am to 4pm. Admission is free.
