John Mullane’s fascinating compositions celebrate the harmony, rhythm and timelessness of nature. Abstract patterns of slow-growing lichens and mosses are juxtaposed against moments as fleeting as the flick of a squirrel’s tail. With each viewing of his intriguing paintings, something new and delightful awaits discovery within a mosaic of textures, reflections and shadows.
Mullane conducts fieldwork in nearby Central Park and at The Bronx Zoo, taking photos and sketching. After he selects the subject, he researches the background. “I try to find ordinary things that inspire me. For me, there is something exciting about bark.” Few people possess this level of appreciation, and for Mullane, it was a revelation to read Carl Brenders’ book and discover another kindred spirit who shared his enthusiasm. “I’ve always felt the need to say as much as I could about the subjects that I paint,” he notes.
"I first saw John Mullane's work in the early 90's at a show in Canada" said artist Terry Isaac. "I was impressed right from the start. What I enjoy most about it is his senistivity to subject and setting. With a muted palette and delicate brushwork, his paintings are sure to be admired by many."
