Morning. Will Murray, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

The exhibition Child\u2019s Play<\/em> by Asheville-based artist Will Murray opens with a reception on Friday, July 11, 6\u20138 p.m., at BlackBird Frame & Art. The show runs through August 29 and invites viewers to explore the intersection of childhood memories, creativity and whimsical artistry.<\/p>\n

Murray\u2019s work is deeply personal, drawing inspiration from his childhood and his children\u2019s unfiltered approach to art. \u201cI\u2019m inspired by my kids, who are also great artists,\u201d he says. \u201cTo them creation is enough, the end product is incidental and relationship to audience is nonexistent. It seems like a meditative exercise in ego deflation and it seems to make them very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Basilisk. Will Murray, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Many of Murray\u2019s paintings are an homage to a childhood experience that has remained with him for years. \u201cI had a babysitter with a great collection of art books that I would pore over and try to copy,\u201d he says. \u201cOne in particular made a huge impression: it was a story of an explorer and a naturalist in a world populated by fantastical creatures.\u201d Though he has searched for this book as an adult, he has not been able to find it. Instead, he recreates the feeling of it through his art.<\/p>\n

Murray\u2019s process is one of balance\u2014between control and spontaneity, between effort and ease. He describes his artistic process as \u201chit or miss,\u201d and while there are recurring motifs that appear in his work, such as mandalas and sailors navigating the seas of life, the flow of creativity can often surprise him. \u201cOther times I enter into a flow state that comes so easily to kids, my ego dwindles away and at last I\u2019m left with an artifact that I have almost no recollection of creating.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Murray, the show is a return to the innocence and joy of childhood. \u201cI try to imagine that my target audience is my inner ten year old,\u201d he says. \u201cIf I can impress and delight him, then I\u2019ve won at life.\u201d<\/p>\n
