NIGEL MULLINS
NIGEL MULLINS, Natural Progression
100 x 150 cm
Nigel Mullins’ painterly exploration makes use of sumptuous impasto, veering between figuration and abstraction without restraint. The artist applies his material as libations covering a sacred artefact or an amulet: fetishistically. The paint, dense in meaning and referential value, thickly covers the support as it alters and constructs. This explicitly references the painting as a thing; a support to which meaning (as material) is applied often in layers and over an expanse of time.
