Description:
In the late 1980's, contemporary realist artist Bill Murphy made a hugely successful series of large-scale charcoal portrait drawings. Since 2000, Bill Murphy has been working with a combination of photo, collage and paints in his mixed-media portraits. In this fresh image of a young woman entitled "Olimpia", we are reminded that Bill Murphy retains an extraordinary ability to capture the complexities of features and persona.
