Hi-Fructose Magazine

Oscillating between grotesque portraiture and abstract gelantious shapes, artist Glenn Brown’s works apply masterful color knowledge with an interesting, loose paint application. The turbulence of the paint technique contrasts with the old world reference, culled from works already in existence and manipulated, as the artist describes: ”I‘m rather like a Dr Frankenstein, constructing paintings out of the residue or dead parts of other artist‘s work.”

We can’t get enough of Ron Mueck’s big Baby. We featured Ron in the infamous Hi-Fructose vol.6.

The art of Michael Murphy first caught our eye a couple years back when he participated in the Manifest Hope art shows in Denver and Washington D.C. The artist’s multi-dimensional works engage the viewer with a transformative perspective, however it’s not just tricks of the eye that he’s known for. From sound installations utilizing pools of water and live cellos to the incorporation of shadows as shading, Murphy’s ability to think outside the box, and his technical skill to bring the concepts to fruition, make his work a fun, imaginative and accessible experience. The artist’s latest solo show, ‘Look,’ just ended at New York City’s Gallery Nine 5, get a look at several of our favorite selections from the exhibit below.
