Benjamin Murphy
Epimetheus, 2025
In Epimetheus, Benjamin Murphy captures a quiet, introspective tension through the simplicity of charcoal on raw canvas.
Each mark settles softly into the untreated surface, giving the work a sense of immediacy and presence. The piece suggests reflection rather than narrative,an atmosphere of stillness where line, texture, and silence converge.
In its restraint, Epimetheus invites close looking, drawing the viewer into the subtle shifts of tone and touch that give the work its quiet power.

"In my work I like to explore the boundaries between beauty and chaos and between fragility and violence. The work embraces contradiction, representing fragile subjects through violent gestures, and the opposite."

CURATOR´S NOTE
What we love about Epimetheus is its quiet clarity. Murphy’s charcoal marks settle softly into the raw canvas, revealing subtle shifts in tone and texture each time you return to it. There’s a gentle, contemplative presence in the way the drawing breathes with the surface. Rather than demanding attention, the work invites it—encouraging you to pause, look closer, and linger with its restrained beauty. It stays with you softly, long after you’ve stepped away.
