LONDON.- The Directors of Marlborough Fine Art announced their forthcoming exhibition of new work by Nina Murdoch. This is her first exhibition since joining the gallery last year. “Corridors, steps, wedges of light and otherworldly colour, Nina Murdoch’s paintings evoke an uninhabited but haunting world in which the sun and moon seem to rise and set in chambers indoors.” In this new series of paintings, the artist continues to explore her preoccupation with light, space and architecture. The paintings evolve out of an intense process of painting, varnishing and sanding. She works through many complex layers of egg and pigment until she achieves a patina which evokes the time worn surfaces of the areas from which she finds her inspiration. For this show as well as her urban haunts, she has for the first time been attracted outside London to the rural settings of South Devon, albeit a secret world
