Malcolm’s artistic journey began in his teenage years with the raw energy of American graffiti. Its bold lines, colours and freedom of expression left a lasting mark on his imagination. Over time, he expanded his practice into traditional sign writing and oil painting, building a foundation of craftsmanship that would later merge with his early street art influences.

Today, Murphy creates striking works that bring together graffiti and classical art. Renaissance-inspired figures, such as Michelangelo’s David, appear against graffiti-covered backdrops, uniting two traditions often seen in opposition. This collision of styles reflects both continuity and disruption: the refinement of realism set against the immediacy of spray paint. By merging past and present, tradition and rebellion, Malcolm explores how art evolves while questioning its role in contemporary culture.

David is an artist deeply inspired by the ever-changing beauty of the Welsh coastline, its sweeping landscapes, and the dynamic energy of the urban environment. Working primarily in oil, he explores the interplay of light, colour, and form, creating bold compositions where complementary hues and abstract shapes take centre stage.

His work is driven by a fascination with the emotional resonance of colour and its power to evoke memory and atmosphere. Whether capturing the restless energy of the sea, the quiet drama of a storm-lit headland, or the rhythmic geometry of a cityscape, David seeks to distil the essence of a scene rather than merely represent it.

Brushwork and texture are vital to his process. Through layered strokes and expressive marks, he builds depth and movement, allowing his paintings to oscillate between realism and abstraction.
