At the Blue Moon: Living Color New Works by Murray Archibald When something has been happening for 14 years its safe to say that it should be classified as a tradition. Such is the case with Murray Archibald, his art, and the Blue Moon Restaurant. In the early 80s when the gay scene in Rehoboth was just beginning to really spill out on the streets, Joyce Felton, Victor Pisapia, and a few others established a connection between art and dining that has continued in Rehoboth ever since, and into which Murray has established himself nicely. This years show, titled, "Living Color," opens July 4, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Known to the Rehoboth community for his bold graphic images and bright colors, his new work speaks gently on the themes of perception, paradox, and the brilliant color that makes up all the various aspects of our lives. As he has done for several years, the 1998 SUNDANCE painting, titled Colors of Life, is included in the display of his new works as are a series of small paintings in a somewhat different style. "Im really excited about these little paintings," says Murray, "they are a little looser than most of my work, but they touch places deep in my soul." Murrays paintings, beautifully framed by Nassau Gallery, will be on display through the end of July. |
