Luke Murphy: Promised Light March 5–April 13, 2024 Opening Reception: Thursday, March 7, 6–8 PM 60 Lispenard, New York, NY

CANADA is pleased to present Promised Light, a solo exhibition by Luke Murphy. For the last two decades Luke Murphy has wrestled with resolving the rude intrusion of the digital world into his love of painting. In the mid 1990s, he was one of the first digital artists to use the web itself, presenting pixels as both content and medium.

Obsessed with the inane, often broken, blinky world of bodega signs but uninterested in the “bling of the thing,” he rejected using LEDs as screens, instead breaking them up and re-forming them as everyday objects: quilts, fires, chimneys, and towers. Like Pinocchio’s creator, Geppetto, Murphy is gifted with the ability to bring his machines a voice, a life, a real life. Despite their digital-ness, these objects come with their own secret entrance into our emotional lives, simulacra written onto our very amygdala....More expand_more
