Judith Murray: Pure Pleasure surveys the work of a veteran abstractionist active in New York since the 1970s, presenting vibrant color-driven canvases that combine gestural abstraction with non-objective painting. Since the 1970s Murray has rigorously limited her palette to red, yellow, black, and white — mixed with such skill that the constraint is barely perceptible — applied in densely layered impasto on large off-square canvases anchored by a single crisp vertical bar. "The bar is the counter to everything else that's going on," Murray says. Travels to prehistoric cave sites and remote jungle villages affirmed her commitment to these four colors, found prevalent across diverse cultures — a visual language she aims to make universal.
