Edition Note
Released as part of a strictly limited hand-finished series. Each work is unique.

Brendan Murphy’s Boonji Spaceman has become one of the artist’s most recognizable sculptural figures, bringing together a distinct visual language of symbols, words, and gestures in a character that feels both cosmic and deeply human.

In this relaxed seated pose, the figure sits back on a bench with legs crossed and both arms resting along the backrest. The setting brings the cosmic character into an everyday scene, giving the sculpture an easy and self-assured presence. The composition suggests pause, observation, and a quiet moment of connection between the artist’s symbolic universe and the familiar world around us.

Murphy’s limited collectible series brings the Boonji Spaceman into a more personal and intimate format, offering collectors an approachable way to engage with the artist’s work. At the same time, each sculpture retains the visual character, symbolic vocabulary, and emotional tension central to Brendan Murphy’s art.
