Maz Murray (b. Basildon, 1995) is an artist working across film, writing, collage and installation. Murray uses satire, surrealism and melodrama to talk about queer and trans identity, class, and the complexities of public life. They subvert pop cultural forms such as music videos, TV documentaries, talk shows, social media content and cinema, using DIY techniques. They’re interested in the creation of artificial landscapes and the struggles that shape them.
In 2024, the artist presented Principal Boy at Focal Point Gallery, their first solo exhibition. Murray is currently working on a collaborative novel with Charlie Markbreiter, published by Montez Press. In 2023, the artist was selected as an awardee of the second edition of the LOEWE FOUNDATION / Studio Voltaire Award.
