Michael Muir 'Based on a true story'

Jan Murphy Gallery is excited to present 'Based on a true story' by Michael Muir.
 
Michael Muir’s paintings are predominately inspired by his experience of the landscape, particularly places he has travelled to for the first time. Born in Scotland, Muir’s childhood was spent moving throughout South East Asia before settling in Sydney. This peripatetic beginning has shaped the way Muir makes sense of his surrounds, balancing the thrill of new possibilities with the comfort of the familiar.
  
Muir has had regular solo exhibitions in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne since 2010 and this is his seventh major exhibition at Jan Murphy Gallery. He was the winner of the Mosman Art Prize 2014 and has been a finalist in a number of awards over the past decade including the Wynne, Sulman and Fleurieu Art Prizes. His work is represented in Australia’s Artbank collection, Parliament House Art Collection and private collections throughout Australia and Internationally.
