Catherine Murphy's Recent Works to Debut at Sadie Coles HQ in London
This September, Sadie Coles HQ on Bury Street will host a solo exhibition featuring the latest works by American artist Catherine Murphy, her second solo display in London. Born in 1946 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Murphy has been redefining the mundane into the remarkable since the 1970s, crafting painted depictions of both real and imagined environments around her home and studio in Poughkeepsie, New York. Although her early work was rooted in meticulous realism akin to still life, over the last twenty years, her approach has shifted to encompass more psychologically nuanced and subtly surreal representations. By highlighting overlooked perspectives, Murphy reinterprets familiar objects, creating unsettling yet captivating glimpses through her careful scene composition and attention to detail.
