Murray Clarke
Dicecream Magazine🔳 Sharing about Murray Clarke (born in 1992, United Kingdom), who resides and practices his art in London, England.
Clarke earned his MFA in Fine Art from Kingston School of Art in 2019.
His current artistic exploration delves into the intricate web of emotions entwined with the commercialization and widespread consumption of fabric and clothing.
Clarke's approach involves dissecting and challenging societal attitudes and emotions towards luxury goods, particularly through paintings that radiate both warmth and allure, while simultaneously projecting an illusion of coldness and shallowness.
Through the deliberate duplication of images, his work echoes the mass-produced aesthetic of advertising, defying the conventional perception of painting as a singular and unique form. The repetition of the same image, each iteration distancing itself further from its figurative essence, challenges our preconceived notions of artistic originality.
Executed in a realist style, Clarke's presence remains elusive within the paintings, allowing a mechanical coldness to overshadow the initial warmth.
This deliberate distancing prompts viewers to introspect and question their own desires in the face of this intriguing interplay of emotions and perceptions.
