What’s a better duo than a new construction, hot on the market property, and a contemporary art show? In real estate, there’s close to nothing. On Oct 6th, Saunders & Associates agent Vince Horcasitas held an open house at his new listing at 6 Marley Lane in East Hampton with a special twist. Pairing up with contemporary artist Brendan Murphy, Horcasitas thought up the interesting idea to thoughtfully display both Murphy’s sculptures and paintings throughout the property, adding to the magic that this listing has to offer. Modern luxury meets Hamptons style is what comes to mind when walking through this beautiful new build.
Murphy, whose studio is currently based in Miami, FL, is known for his experimentation with form and color. His pieces worked so well inside Horcasitas’s property for their stark contrast to 6 Marley Lane’s sharp edges, obsession with lines, and clever combination of woods, metals, and marble.
Both the property and Murphy’s art explore beauty in different ways. His sculptures are bound by loud colors and symbols similar to that of traditional “graffiti” art, to create an out-of-this-world feeling within the viewer. Some of the words in Murphy’s pieces you are able to make out, and some you aren’t, posing this interesting dichotomy rooted in the need to understand the otherwise indecipherable human experience.
6 Marley Lane is a property that moves and conforms to the layout of its 0.78-acre lot. All of its angles lead to one vanishing point: a magnificent pool and backyard. Just when you thought you had seen all of Murphy’s pieces, you walk out into the yard to find a sculpture lying on the wall of the hot tub-pool combination. It was in viewing this piece that you are really able to see the symbiotic relationship that this property and Murphy’s art have together. Spectacular doesn’t quite cut it, but you’ll just have to see 6 Marley Lane come to life with the help of Brendan Murphy for yourself.
