Vermilion Painting

Rowen Murphy is a self taught contemporary watercolorist. " My paintings are explorations in color, texture, pattern and subject. For me it's about the painting of the painting- the creating of the art, the possibilities of water paint, imagination, the experimentation are limitless. It's what keeps me creating and passionate. My paintings all have a similar thread and style, my biggest influences being the Chicago Imagists, German Expressionists and Pop Art. I'm absorbing life around me, people, aquaintances, city culture, whats happening in the world at the moment, all influence the outcome of my work. These are my subjects and what you see in my portraits and abstract work. For more information or larger print inquiries please contact at- rowenmurphystudio@yahoo.com
