Angelo Murphy paints the everyday mundane objects around him. As an artist the challenge with such a statement, he finds, is to create a rendering of the familiar in a way that might inspire the viewer to consider objects, changed or transformed through painting.

An interpretation and appreciation of the Baroque masters informs his own compositions, while at the same time being relevant and contemporary. Angelo uses colour, tone and a new understanding and awareness of the Chiaroscuro (light and dark) found in the works of the Baroque painters of the 17th century to achieve this aim.
