Primal Form: The Sculpture of Gwynn Murrill
Council of 100 Distinguished Woman Artist for 2007
Gwynn Murrill brings to her award as the Council of 100 Distinguished Woman Artist for 2007 a lifetime of compelling and powerful work – the exhibition presented is an overview of her command of disparate materials chosen for the expression of her sculptural language where pure abstract form transcends anthropomorphism. There are coyotes of laminated Koa wood, a cat hewn from grey Carrara marble, deer of bronze, an animal relief carved within ceramic tiles, along with soaring bronze eagles, each sculpture extends beyond the mimetic impulse to “follow nature. Murrill's sculptural sensibility, in the words of Peter Clothier, is an ecstatic apprehension of pure form in the environment of pure space.
