Very moved to hear the news of the passing of Kevin “Geordie” Walker, known for his power house riffing guitar in the band Killing Joke. A refined, quiet, and discreet man with a deep charisma. May he rest in the Lap of Compassion.

Exploring his newest artwork series, 'Thorns', Peter sat down with his two art curators, Daniel and Emma, to explore his motivation behind the artworks in a recent interview. Take a look at https://petermurphy.studio/2023/11/13/qa-with-peter-murphy-on-thorns/

In this limited series, Peter Murphy explores the Jesus archetype through the medium of acrylic paints and inks, transforming paper and canvas into an introspective yet universal religious journey.

Our first release includes a very special series of 13 framed artworks and is an in-depth exploration of Peter’s introspective journey throughout the last few years, with strong references to his ‘Godfather of Goth’ persona. Bold colours, gothic undertones, energetic brushstrokes, and distinctive references to his musical career show how interlaced the artist and musician are. 

21 artworks will be released online throughout July and August. Peter Murphy has contemplated this series since he was 17, when he was accepted into art school. Unable to attend due to work, he took a different path and progressed into music. However, Peter has always been a passionate fine artist. 

  Coming soon: There will be two additional releases of original artworks through www.petermurphy.studio and a limited-edition print series via online gallery partners, SOTA in the next few weeks. 

  “If you’ve got art in you, it has to come out.” – Peter Murphy
