“Plug Me” the first solo exhibition by artist and designer Mark Murphy will be featured at Subtext in San Diego April 15 from 6 PM to 10 PM and on exhibit from April 15 to May 15, 2011.
“Plug Me” is a collection of hand-printed, one-of-a-kind block and letterpress originals, as well as a strong showing of drawings and watercolors. A brightly colored display of works on paper awaits the viewer as other worldly creatures scramble for coexistence with human kind as a string of poor decisions and climactic shifts are pushing all life to the brink. Hoping to minimize the damage, Mark’s wild-eyed creatures search out whimsical resolutions that look to bung up the problem.
“Man and nature are aggressively searching for coexistence these days. As the forces of weather, economy, religion, health and politics are in an agitated state and the world has noticeably sprung a leak.”
Mark Murphy has practiced graphic design as principal of Murphy Design over the past twenty years, collaborated with over seven hundred artists from around the world and has actively archived living artists in 32 books, two documentaries and twelve major fine art exhibitions.
