In the mid-sixties,
against the grain of contemporary movements surfacing at the
time, Murray Zimiles began to work in a figurative,
narrative genre. His results established a distinctly innovative
body of work that embraces yet defies tradition. "The
work recalls tradition, fights tradition and at the same time
establishes a new tradition," Zimiles notes. He
imbues his work with intricate interplay and furious energy.
It has been suggested that his major theme is paradise, or
more precisely, paradise lost and partially regained.
Murray Zimiles' most recent "Animal
Painting" Series is described by New York Times art critic,
William Zimmer, as, "strong, highly unified, and embodying
a sense of great mystery yet everything is presented clearly...camels,
bison, or dogs are shown traveling through vast, amazing wilderness
landscapes that verge on the apocalypic."
----The New York Times Art Review of Murray Zimiles Retrospective
at the Neuberger Museum of Art (2003)
