THE SHOW

"Cuba - a naive portrait" is an original vignette in drawings and video created during 3 months around Cuba in 04/05.

Review from The Irish Times - The Arts
Wednesday July 5th 2006

Pat Murphy unfurled his 40 metres of heavy paper on the roadsides, esplanades and plazas of many small Cuban towns and created his images, often mobbed by curious crowds of children, grandmothers, taxi drivers, soldiers, musicians and other Cuban painters.

The exhibition will feature scenes from a documentary film, shot by Bonnie Dempsey on digital video and super8mm film, which document the process by which an Irish painter interprets Cuba and transfers his experiences onto paper.

PAT MURPHY

“Everybody here is dancing salsa day and night,
Fidel is the only one not dancing,
He’s in a wheelchair with a broken knee,
I’d love to tell him what it was like for me,
I had no wheelchair...” Pat Murphy

A native of Ferrybank, Waterford, Pat Murphy studied at the National College of Art in the early 70’s and since then has been inspired by the seclusion of the Ring Gaeltacht. A regular exhibitor at the Dyehouse Gallery, including the show Drawings 2000, Pat had his last Dublin show at the Neptune Gallery in 1975. His works are in public and private collections in Ireland and abroad.

A full CV for Pat Murphy is available.

BONNIE DEMPSEY

Graduated from the National Film School in Dun Laoghaire where she specialised in cinematography. In late 2004, Bonnie started filming the documentary "Cuban Portrait: travels with the artist Pat Murphy"- a road movie documenting the process by which an Irish painter interprets Cuba and transforms his journey into art.
