Description
T.C. MURPHY, (IRISH B. 1953) FIELDS BY THE OCEAN, gouache on paper, signed lower right with initials. Frame: 67 x 53cm. Painting: 41 x 28cm. MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST: Born in Dublin in 1953 Murphy attended Drimnagh College as a teenager leaving school at 16 to pursue an apprenticeship in the jewellery trade. After four years of this he moved to Denmark. After trying out several jobs he moved to Christiana, an experimental commune in Copenhagen where he pursued his artistic talents, returning to Ireland in the late 1980s. His works are abstract in nature but often refer back to the Irish landscape.
