Philip Mullen

Click Here: Return to Our Artists

Mullen's paintings have been described as fluid, complex, abstract yet deeply rooted in the world of things experienced in a tactile way.They  are both carefully thought out and joyously care-free. Mullen’s art represents not an artistic simplification of visual reality but a voluptuous re-imagining and re-working of it which prevents a viewer from taking them in all at once. The fine balance he consistently achieves is one of beguiling the viewer to “work” at appreciating them while not making him feel coerced in any way while he does so. Mullen's work has earned national acclaim and has been included in The Whitney Museum's Biennial of Contemporary Art; The Smithsonian Traveling Show for Contemporary American Drawing V; San Francisco Museum of Art National Drawing Exhibition; and other national exhibitions.
