Art for Ukraine (41/81)

Notes


‘“Fire! But business as Usual” was created as part of a series I am working on, exploring passion and desire. I was drawn to vintage adverts and photographs of dancers and performers,bringing these to life through paint, and trying to capture the tactile essence of their movement and physicality.’ - Orla Murray

Orla Murray (b.1998), is a London based artist who recently graduated with a BA in Fine Art from City and Guilds of London Art School. She mostly paints large scale, figurative oil paintings. Working from a variety of sources including fashion editorials, historical artworks, life, and imagination, the works capture intimate scenarios, and aim to create a connection between the artwork and the viewer. They often feel intrusive or voyeuristic, as though the viewer has perhaps been caught peeking at a vulnerable moment, with the distorted figures within the paintings existing as a hybrid of the real and the imagined world.
