AN OIL ON CANVAS SURREALIST POSTMODERN PAINTING BY ADRIAN MURPHY
United States, late sixties - signed
Reminiscent of a portal to another world, a celebration of colour and form. Good scale and proportion and in original frame, this striking work is synonymous with the new face of art the emerged in the late 60s influenced by the free rights movement, popular culture and challenges to the social system. This condensed period produced some of the most thought-provoking progressive ideas of the 20th century. The three dimensional geometric composition is resonant of iconic illustrative album artwork of the time and yet retains an influence of the surrealist movement particularly artists such as René Magritte. The colours are mellowed and softened the overall impression has a warm glow like energy.
