McCain McMurray’s exhibition, La Côte d’Azur, is inspired by his artist residency in the small town of Vallauris, France; situated between Canne and Antibes along the coast of the Mediterranean. The works are vertical landscapes that reflect the sun-bleached colors of the coast and sea, as well as the ochres and grays of the nearby hill towns.
McMurray’s work is about capturing the ethos of the natural and constructed world in its most fundamental forms. Some pieces were created by brushing or squeegeeing over unprimed canvas, while others are developed with multiple layers of paint.
Lines in Country, a photography exhibition by Tom McMurray, is part of a larger effort to raise awareness and protect the Kimberley and Pilbara region of NW Australia. McMurray was part of a team of photographers and filmmakers that documented the lives of five people and told their stories of protecting a way of life in the documentary, Keeping Country. For the documentary subjects, Country is defined as a sense of belonging and identity that is deeply spiritual and forms the basis of their belief system and connection to the ancestors.
