Michael Murphy (born March 22, 1975) is an American artist, sculptor and pioneer of the Perceptual Art movement.
Murphy became widely known during the 2008 U.S.
presidential election, after creating the first portrait of candidate Barack Obama in 2007 that influenced thousands of artists to contribute to the “Art for Obama” movement, documented in Shepard Fairey's book Art for Obama: Designing Manifest Hope and the Campaign for Change.His approach is to challenge the viewer's boundaries using multidimensional techniques in order to create three-dimensional renderings of flat images.
His inventions of "Expanded Graphics", the "3D Halftone" and "Suspended Narrative Mobiles" have established an entirely new formula for rendering images.
