Einige weitere Pressestimmen:
- Being surprised by art is a genuine rarity these days, but judging by the facial expressions of those shown this book, it's a trick Murphy has pulled off. (Design Week)
- A collection of ingenious and witty designs tracing the fetishistic subtext in household utensils. (New Statesman)
- Sex is confusing, however in Julian Murphy's strange, Escher like world. It is very funny as well, and complex enough to give Freud nightmares. Murphy's works delight the eye and confuse the brain, with an acute observation of contemporary consumer culture and a sharp sometimes dark, sense of humour, he puts a twist on household objects; you may never look at a pair of secateurs in the same way again. (Erotic Print Society)
- Murphy has developed a rare level of skill as a Mannerist painter, working primarily in gouache, and focusing on fetishist and erotic subject matter, where he has gained an international reputation. More recently, however after the publication of a book devoted to his work, he has become better known in a mainstream market that has come to appreciate that here is work filled with hidden depths and meanings. (The Bloxham Gallery)
- Weird, strangely erotic stuff, each painting delights the senses. Skin Two said of him "a fantastic post Escher/Giger graphic artist" and they are right. (Agenda Magazine, Paris, France)
- He's an artist who takes inspiration from even the most mundane items and his work harnesses a keen wit to these rigorously wrought geometric images of everyday perversion, Murphy's law seems to be anything with moving parts can be seen as sexual. (GQ Magazine)
- The singular art of Julian Murphy, a massive tome of graphically induced eroticism which combines the mathematical precision of M C Escher with with the erotic pop art of Allen Jones. Murphy's tongue remaining firmly in his cheek at all times. The highly stylised and repeated black, red, and white images of rudely high heeled shoes could be patented as the sexiest wallpaper ever, the "singular art" is a must have for any art loving libertine. (Pure Magazine)
- The fetish art of Julian Murphy stands out as truly original. His devious imagination manages to stimulate, amuse and amaze. (Skin Two Magazine)
In a decorative and imaginative way, the artist turns everyday objects into little masterpieces of Fetish Art. (Marquis Magazine)
- Having seen Julian Murphy’s subtle work you’ll discover nothing but sex in your everyday day life - but don’t fall in love with your carpet cleaner! (Twilight Magazine)
- The artist is one of the most exciting new talents to have emerged in recent years, a superb technique, a dazzling imagination and an originality that both intrigues and amuses. (EPS Catalogue)
- Julian Murphy combines sex and steel in a most provocative way. I think I’ll ‘steal’ some of his ideas. (Eric Kroll, photographer)
