Ethan Murrow is a dreamer, a storyteller. His scenes are well thought out adventures, full of character and humanity. His heroes often fail, but they never give up. What makes Murrow’s artworks more extraordinary is his chosen vehicle to share these stories. Each composition is meticulously drafted, with lifelike precision in graphite or pen. No detail is omitted and there is no room for error. Murrow creates black and white worlds like pages from historical texts, begging us to enter and explore. His most recent exhibition, Jurassic, at Winston Wächter Fine Art Seattle, focuses on the enormity of the Northwest. In this land everything is big. It is “as if trees, mountains, skies and clouds have been injected with steroids”. The enormity of nature makes it seemingly impossible for man to conquer, or even survive. Ancient trees loom over us and grand mountains burst towards the sky. Murrow’s tireless protagonists press on in these worlds with the same care that is taken in creating them. Murrow’s artworks are tributes to mankind’s perseverance, while simultaneously questioning how we view ownership and our relationship to nature.
