Film by Eric Minh Swenson. Produced by AC Projects. Music by Greg Merritt.
James Austin Murray is a born and bred New York based artist. He studied illustration at Parsons School of Design.
Working in primarily black oil paint, James Austin Murray creates paintings that interact with the light around them. The forms and shapes of the paintings are his point of departure.
'I attempt to make works that can be meditated on. Things that can be a part of someone's life.
We as people as a society are inundated with constant images, TV's, phones, computers, tablets, billboards, advertizements in bathrooms, there's almost no escape. My work is in direct contrast and almost opposition to this world image bombardment. They are a spacial moment of non image, an attempt to create an escape.
These paintings will change with the natural light and in doing so will remind the viewer where she is. To really get these works, they need to be seen not just in person. They need to be seen in the day and the nigh,t as well as the morning and afternoon.
