Lives and works in Santa Monica, CA
The ability to look deeply is the root of creativity. To see past the ordinary and mundane and get to what might otherwise be invisible.
My work is a deconstruction recipe of emotions, colors, stories, and inspirations reflecting life with its troubles and complications — each part and piece of a puzzle making it whole.
From an inside-out view,
The ability to look deeply is the root of creativity. To see past the ordinary and mundane and get to what might otherwise be invisible.
My work is a deconstruction recipe of emotions, colors, stories, and inspirations reflecting life with its troubles and complications — each part and piece of a puzzle making it whole.
From an inside-out view, the work reveals a universal common bond of personal struggle — that life is a series of fragments that we have to make sense of — introspection, fragmentation, complexity of being, dealing with confliction.
Intuitively I feel the need to always challenge myself to go further, not to accept things at face value and never settle — a need to go deeper and look at the places in ourselves we would rather avoid.
My mission is to make work that allows us to embrace our insecurities without judgement. Making the statement: “Yeah, we’re all fucked up, but we’re doing the best we can.”

BORED OF DIRECTORS by Gregory Malphurs

An exploration of how disparate parts can come together and form a meaningful sum even though each expresses its own story. I call this "inside out portraiture" in which you see what's inside the subject with no attempt to portray physical appearances

My recent practice has taken me to the idea of representing my subjects as full figures - much like classic sculptures. It starts with reimagining the most important - famous statue in history - Michelangelo's David

Warhol's Superstars by Gregory Malphurs
Click/tap below to copy url
I've always been greatly influenced and inspired by Warhol so I created this series of six portraits of Warhol's Factory Superstars. I begin by making several drawings of each subject based on various historical references. These drawings are torn and cut apart into pieces so that I can "audition" them until they make a portrait of the subject
