Elder Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by Philip Mullen
Elder Gallery in Charlotte, NC, presents its second solo exhibition for internationally recognized artist, Philip Mullen. The exhibition will begin on Mar. 3 and continue through Apr. 4, 2006.
Mullen was born in 1942. He received his BA from the University of Minnesota in 1964, MA in Studio Art from the University of North Dakota in 1966 and PhD in Comparative Arts from Ohio University in 1960. He now lives in South Carolina and is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Art at the University of South Carolina.
Elder Gallery's 2006 exhibition includes a series of new paintings on paper entitled Matisse Remembered. "Since many people see similarities between the painting styles of both artists, Philip decided to incorporate images from Matisse's paintings into his," says gallery owner Larry Elder. "This year's exhibition holds a great deal of excitement for the viewer since Philip is exploring several new avenues in this latest work".
Mullen's work has been included in the Whitney Museum's Biennial of Contemporary Art; the Smithsonian's Contemporary American Drawing V; and the San Francisco Museum of Art's National Drawing Exhibition.
Mullen is included in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, Sonje Museum of Contemporary Art (South Korea), Palm Springs Desert Museum, the Denver Art Museum, the Mint Museums, and the Columbia Museum of Art.
On Mar. 3, 2006, at 11am, the gallery will host a discussion with the artist in the main exhibition gallery. "Philip is admired by so many collectors, painters and fellow artisans for his painting style," says Elder. "Our goal is to create a scenario wherein the artist will speak frankly about his work and share what's going on in his head as he constructs his work."
