Rob Murphy

Rob Murphy is a contemporary artist from Ireland whose dynamic work explores the intersections of landscape, memory, and cultural identity. Raised in the coastal town of Sligo, Murphy draws inspiration from the wild Atlantic shoreline and the lush, atmospheric beauty of the Irish countryside. He studied fine art at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, where he developed a distinctive style blending expressive brushwork with layered textures and subtle color shifts.

Murphy’s practice encompasses painting, drawing, and site-specific installations, often incorporating found materials and elements of local folklore. His evocative pieces have been exhibited widely in Ireland and internationally, earning critical praise for their emotional depth and nuanced engagement with themes of place, environment, and collective narrative. Through his work, Murphy seeks to capture the fleeting quality of memory and the persistent resonance of landscape in shaping personal and communal histories.
