Oil paintings from early in her career * in the 1970s exhibited stark and incisive forms in red, white, yellow * and black. The vertical bar down the right-hand edge of the canvas that * first appeared in those paintings has become a permanent element in all * her work, in effect anchoring the rest of the canvas to the picture’s * frame. Over the years, she has remained faithful to the use of only * these four colors, mixing and combining them to produce a seemingly * infinite variety of hues. The discipline of restricting her palette has * given a kind of subliminal, even invisible, stability to her work. More * recently, Murray has been creating large-scale paintings in which mostly * short brushstrokes scramble and chase each other in lively patterns * across the canvas. In her latest paintings, scattered among the animated * brushstrokes are abstract, eccentric geometric shapes in her basic four * colors that combine these multiple compositional components to make a * single statement. *
