RO MURRAY
‘Light on the Horizon’ – $550
2024, Unique Print, lino print on Somerset 300gsm, 50 x 33 cm
Ro’s art practice is influenced by her career as an architect for thirty years, and later attending NAS (BFA Hons 2010). Since 2018 her art practice has focussed on relief printmaking, and its extension as wall constructions and installations.
Ro has staged ten solo exhibitions and been selected for many art prizes and awards. This year her lino printed pianola rolls were exhibited in the Paper Room at Sydney Contemporary with Tiliqua Tiliqua (where she prints), the Canberra Art Biennial, and the Arte Laguna Prize in the Arsenale Venice. Ro has developed a landscape language, combining abstract geographical shapes, historic research and topographic maps to make a landscape journey on reused rolls of perforated paper.
‘Light on the Horizon’ is inspired by the peninsular of Bouddi National Park surrounding her house. The bushland on the north of Broken Bay, with rocky outcrops, twisted angophora and water everywhere.
