Adin Murray | august reverie

August 9 - 31 . 2025

Opening Reception | Saturday August 9th . 4-6pm

In a 2011 NYTimes opinion piece on reverie, Rachel Enthoven wrote: ‘Born of the desire to be directly involved in our surroundings, reverie strips the world of its utility. It borrows the power of narration from wakefulness and the power of divination from sleep … and blends their realms.

… It is contemplation from within, letting the person who gives way to it feel change.’

Artist Adin Murray, known for his direct observations of nature, offers viewers the chance to ‘feel change,’ to suspend the perpetual motion of our lives, to loosen thought.

This exhibition, Murray’s 6th solo show with the gallery, includes eleven small paintings which evoke dreams of nature. Murray notes: Reverie: A state of being pleasantly lost in one’s thoughts; a daydream. Oxford Languages. And writes: My hope is that somewhere in this collection of work you are able to find yourself in such a state.

Along side the small oil paintings are larger works, each a new exploration of Murray’s vision.
