About The Artist

Max Murnaghan’s practice is deeply focused on the human experience, exploring intuition and instinct through paint. Blending intentional technique with bursts of energetic and expressive strokes of paint, Murnaghan delves into the world of the humane, exploring what makes us our true selves. His work invites the viewer to join and discover their own experience. Often working at a large scale, Murnaghan composes pieces that speak volumes into a shared experience of humanity and unity, encouraging dialogue between its viewers. 

Murnaghan’s process is one of reflection and curiosity. Over months, Max allows himself to rabbit-hole through each work until a final form is uncovered, rather than following a directly linear path. Materials and medium are vital to Max's process in order to construct a gritty and unruly style. Unprimed surfaces and clashing medium create natural textures, impossible to recreate.
