The gallery walls are adorned with nearly 20 magnificently lush, large-scale digital images by Jeff Murphy. Murphy's mesmerizing re-interpretation of Judeo-Christian subjects are imbued with a creepy yet humorous surrealism as gigantic fruits and vegetables replace primary players in ancient holy dramas.

These ingenious films simulate an experience of being immersed in a three-dimensional environment...which are augmented by eerie soundtracks.

Murphy's work is visually striking and thematically provacative in its use of a richly nuanced collage technique.

Although pretty on the surface, this work is gruesome and disturbing, too.

 

Murphy's works are entertainingly complex, ironically sacred dramas.
