Troy Murray a.k.a. TYP is a self-taught, multidisciplinary artist who works in a variety of mediums, typically blending painting with fabrication and 3-dimensional elements.
Inspired by TYP’s own journey of growth and personal transformation, Ascension explores how life’s setbacks and perceived failures often become the foundation for resilience, renewal, and the pursuit of a higher purpose.
The final piece of the show, entitled "Genesis”, is highlighted by a 10-foot painting where living plants help to create the muse’s silhouette, creating a harmonious blend of art and nature. The environment surrounding the piece is lush, adorned with an array of plants and moss that seems to breathe life into the space. Genesis conveys a narrative of renewal, symbolizing the stripping away of the old to allow for the flourishing of the new. It reflects a message of humility and ascendance, evoking the divine touch of God's hand in crafting a new life. The piece stands as a testament to rebirth and the perpetual cycle of growth, inviting viewers to witness the beauty of transformation.
