George Murphy
Primitivism
Ever open to different creative and conceptual approaches, Murphy, makes occasional paintings of black snakes. As a child he caught and kept snakes, and his fascination with the versatility and elegance of their form persists. Snakes are not the only subject of his more “primitive” work but they tend to dominate that genre.
