Patrick McNurney Signed Original Mixed Media Canvas Collage Sheet Music Framed


This signed original work by American artist Patrick McNurney brings together fragments of sheet music, a reclining classical figure, and broad sweeps of silver, bronze, and gold tones. The figure rests against an architectural backdrop just left of center, lending a moment of stillness to a composition that seems to move around it.


McNurney carries the rhythm of the sheet music into the rest of the canvas. Repeated curves echo the lines of the musical staffs, while diagonal bands of color cut across the composition. Warm sepia fragments stand out against a softly mottled ivory and gray ground. From across the room, the metallic sweeps draw the eye. Up close, fine musical notation, irregular edges, and overlapping textures reveal how carefully the layers fit together.


The work is presented on stretched canvas in a gold-tone frame with a darker inner trim. The McNurney signature is visible near the lower portion of the composition. The reverse retains the “MCNURNEY ABSTRACT” barcode label and the Artistic Impressions Inc. seal numbered 1725557.
