What a treat to discover by happenstance Idris Murphy’s work. Some of the images shown here were truly exceptional. His comments insightful. I then looked at other stunning images online. I would so love to see his work in UK. To experience them fully I guess face-to-face is best though this film was a great substitute. He should be a star in Australia. & not just amongst the cognoscenti . Invest in his work. He is surely collectible & support his work. Thank you to all involved.
He was my painting lecturer at COFA in the early 1990's. He has aged well. I thought he'd look a lot older by now. I was the only student in the class who got one of his jokes which referenced Russell Morris' "The Real Thing".
Painting is a combination of curiosity and process. If so called cubist analytics are part of the process then a knowledge of cubist relationships must be known otherwise the result is either superficial without intrinsic meaning or partially effective. Cezanne and Braque are good examples of this analytical process of curiosity.
