POSTPONED Exhibition Opening: Pressed Metal Sculpture
April 11, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN POSTPONED FOR LATER IN 2021
For artist Tony Murray, it all begins with a title. That vision is sculpted to life using precision machined scrap metals and found objects. Whether daydreaming or contemplating the nature of things, Murray’s subjects range from the playful and the serious to the cynical and the philosophical, leaving the viewer to ponder the deeper, religious, political, or social meanings behind the work.
In addition to both regional and national exhibitions, Murray’s work can be found in permanent installations at the Virginia Air and Space Center, LaGrange Art Museum, and Fontbonne University. While his media of choice is pressed metal sculpture and recycled/found objects, Murray also works in scratchboard, photography, “sculptography,” and poetry. Born and raised in Queens, NY, Murray now resides in Glenville, N.Y.
The exhibition will run March-May 2020 at the Mabee Farm Historic Site. A special reception will be held on April 11th at 2pm featuring a presentation by the artist followed by a Q&A. Light refreshments served. $5 or FREE for members.
