​

Marta Murray is a Chicago born painter currently based in Philadelphia. In 2018 she obtained her BFA from New York University and is working toward her MFA thesis at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture this spring.  

​

Marta’s recent large scale drawings build depth through accumulation. Using materials often associated with sign painting, faux finish and stage production, she emphasizes the theatrics of mass media, taking liberties in diagramming and rewriting narratives of prosperity, patriotism, and desire.  

​

Marta’s work has been exhibited across Chicago, New York City, the Hudson Valley, Berlin, and Philadelphia. Her thesis exhibition opens in March at Temple Contemporary.
