Marlon Mullen Abstract Paintings
Born in 1963, Marlon Mullen is a painter who lives and works in Contra Costa County, California, where he has maintained a studio practice at NIAD Art Center since 1993. Mullen has autism spectrum disorder, and is mostly non-verbal. Although it is unclear how much he can read, he represents his own understanding of words and uses their forms in his work. He mostly works from magazine covers and paints them abstractly on paper and canvas.
His work has been shown in galleries such as the Nevica Project (Chicago), JTT (New York), White Columns (New York), Sorry, We’re Closed (Brussels), and Adams And Ollman (Portland). He was one of the standout artists in the 2019 Whitney Biennial in New York and is included in the 2019 SFMOMA’s SECA Awards exhibition.
In Mullen's short professional career, he has already been collected by many important art patrons and included in several museum collections such as Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Berkeley Art Museum, California; Portland Art Museum, Oregon; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; MADMusée, Belgium.

OYV-19 - Contemporary Abstract Collage Painting- Yellow, measuring tape
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
OYV-19 is part of Eric Mack's ongoing body of work utilizing multi-media, complex compositions, and a grid centered around urban design. Using a grid to create the framework of the painting, Mack has re-purposed an old Lenny Kravitz album cover as the structure of the piece. On the edges of the piece you can see a complex edge consisting of a faux leather album cover, nylon mesh, and torn paper. As imagery, Mack has chosen musical notes, tape measure, and other music composition elements through Zerox copy adhered by matte medium to the surface. Mack then creates his own color to further tweak and personalize the piece.
Eric Mack (b.1976, Charleston) creates mathematically based renderings with a distinct post-modern twist. Works are informed with super imposed grids, patterns, and portals. Layered surfaces are created with paint, found objects, natural fibers, and synthetic substrates that explore the systems of our visual world.
His most recent show “Charting the Terrain” is on view now at the California African American Museum in Los Angeles was covered by the Los Angeles Times, KCRW, and LALA Magazine. His last solo exhibition was titled "Impossible Architectures" at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2017. Recent group shows include "Abstract Mind" at the Czong Institute of Contemporary Art, South Korea, "Small Works 2017 at Trestle Gallery, Brooklyn, "Checkered History", Outpost Artist Resources, Brooklyn, N.Y. 2015;
