SANDY MURPHY RGI PAI

Sandy Murphy is a contemporary Scottish artist born in Ayrshire, Scotland in 1956. He studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1976 until 1980, where he graduated with an honours degree.

He completed a teacher training course and taught in Ayrshire schools until 1985. At this point he took the decision to paint professionally, full time.

Although Sandy Murphy has worked on still life and figurative painting, his main output is landscape. Within this subject, he has strived to achieve in paint a harmony of shapes, colour and texture, which combine to create and recall the elements of the Scottish landscape to which he is drawn.

The play of colour, form and structure are developed and reworked, sometimes leading onto a series of paintings which deal with changes in light, mood and the relationship between passages of paint.

The origin of his work is in multitudes of sketch books, studies and memory. This refined communication creating an informal feeling of a place.

With his dedication to his work, his painting and artistic output, he is adding to the tradition of Scottish painting to which he belongs
