Rotterdam-based painter, Daniel Mullen, was born in Glasgow, Scotland 1985.
The question of sense perception is not limited to how we might perceive light, darkness, form, and color. We subsist in a precarious environment, in an era of mass digitization. How might our visual and emotional sensitivities be shifting as we find ourselves flowing between our physical environment and the techno-sphere, aided in part by back-lit digital devices?
With his work, Mullen aim’s to question these shifting modes of perception through dialectical compositions, and expressions of color light, and darkness. That results in works that might appear as digital renderings however upon closer inspection reveal the materiality by which they are constructed. A time-consuming craftsmanship that does not seek binary perfection, but rather embraces nuisance, imperfection, and materiality.
