'''Murray Favro''' is a Canadian artist based in [[London, Ontario]], who works as a sculptor.
Favro has designed and built many guitars that are prized as both art objects and outstanding musical instruments. In the [[Nihilist Spasm Band]], he concentrates on playing guitar with occasional forays into percussion. Favro's current body of work extends the work which occupied him during the late 1970s and early 1980s -- work in which the artist reconstructed by hand, the machines and instruments belonging to industrial production. This painstaking process of construction becomes a way towards understanding. The function of these machines has been transferred towards being vehicles for knowledge and the imagination. Favro is represented by the Christopher Cutts Gallery in Toronto.
