This episode delves into the practice of Sydney-based artist Kyle Murrell, whose abstract works explore the tension between structure and meaning.
A 2013 Honours graduate of the National Art School, Murrell has garnered accolades including the John Olsen Prize for Figure Drawing and the Elioth Gruner Prize for Landscape Painting . His process is rooted in drawing, serving as both exploration and regeneration, leading to paintings that deconstruct and obscure subjects through layered mark-making .
Murrell's commitment to abstraction earned him the 2019 Defiance Award, granting a residency with the Nock Art Foundation in New Zealand.
This episode discusses his evolving practice, the role of repetition, and how drawing sustains his creative journey.
Hosted by Fiona Verity, Julie Nicholson and Gary Seller.
