Woman Clay high-fired Stoneware

His work is the culmination of forty years of intense observation of line and color and thousands of raw material tests. Murray has made a group of stoneware paintings which   provide nourishment for both the body and the spirit.  These current pieces are sensuous, fierce, and thrilling.  The intense over-glazes contrast with the complex muted backgrounds and borders which, in some cases tend to offer some control over the often errant and misbehaving colors which are the life of the work.

Call Me in April Acrylic on Unstretched canvas

Madeleine Murray’s paintings are about the unspoken dialogue between love and loss, amusement and sadness, holdable objects and hard-to-grasp feelings. Slightly haunted spaces that float in joyful ways beyond the canvas invite viewers to bathe in color, find glimmers of recognition, and escape into personal interpretation. Featuring piles of long-saved trinkets and zooming in on the edges between constructed shelters and the natural world, her compositions are rooted in an archaeological desire to uncover and make meaning without a complete story.
