About The Artist

Noel Murphy studied art at Cumbria College before pursuing a 25 year career as a professional editorial photographer.

Throughout his career he has continued to draw and paint, specifically figurative work and abstract landscapes. Smudged, smeared and scraped, the artist manipulates his oil paint across the surface, embracing accidental marks and scratches in the process. Each painting has a deliberate randomness, echoing memories of a view that was once photographed, then drawn and then later painted from memory, capturing mood, atmosphere, time, light and memory.
