 Mythical Wanderings, showcases Mullen's ability to give a visual soul to some of Ireland's most intriguing myths. OPENING RECEPTION Thursday, June 23, 2005 7-10 p.m. A Dublin native, with no formal art training, Mr. Mullen has developed his own techniques and methods. He uses vivid raw powder pigments, walnut oil and wax medium, which he applies with his hands to create his intuitive, vibrant imagery. "My art is not deliberate," Mullen says, "It just happens. It is instinctive, live, and magical. Sometimes my work reflects the exhilaration of being out of control and other times it reflects peaceful resolution. It is the manifestation of an interior monologue that is very freeing." Mullen's works on paper are based on themes of Dublin wanderings, Irish myths, folklore, cities, love and nature. The show will highlight new pieces not yet shown based on characters like Irish Kings, runaway boys on horses, childhood trains, whiskey dreams and Irish villages; most of which were done over the last two years, and there will be limited pieces available for purchase. |
