Patrick Murphy's works across a wide range of projects from art commissions for large-scale installations such as ‘Belonging’ at Walker Gallery for the Liverpool Biennial, to ‘Bruised not Broken’ commission for BBC Easter Passion broadcast and his recent commission to produce automotive art for Coventry Transport Museum. His exhibition curation of leading design projects include ‘Revolutions; from Gatefold to Download, an history of the album cover’ and the 2015 celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the British Road Sign at the Design Museum, London. In 2016 Patrick was selected by the influential magazine Creative Review to feature in their UK Top 50 Creative Leaders project.

Murphy’s conceptual approach is grounded in creating a dialogue with our surroundings and each other. Using familiar objects and themes to depict and examine our culture and environment, he seeks to alter the original context of his subjects so they appear simultaneously both familiar and unfamiliar, to encourage and stimulate a sense of questioning and search for meaning from the viewer.
