Painting by Karl Mullen
$375
A9215
Karl Mullen, born Dublin, Ireland, lives and works in Berkshire Mountains. He has developed his own non-traditional approach to art making and materials, utilizing walnut oil, raw powder pigment and a wax medium that coalesce into color-saturated, luminous images. Painting largely with his hands, Karl creates distinctive, poetic figures that float on fields of color. The imagery in his paintings is born out of Irish mythology, family and dreams.
Mullen's paintings reside in many private collections, and are shown in galleries throughout America and Europe, as well as in the annual Outsider Art Fair in New York. Like Dubuffet's art brut, of which "outsider art" is the English approximation, Mullen's paintings privilege the raw over the cooked, spontaneous process over studied composition, the iconic over the naturalistic, the primitive over the polished.
His work was also showcased in the PBS syndicated TV series Rare Visions & Roadside Revelations and are included frequently in art/design magazines such as Home Accents and Elle Decor.
