MICHAEL MULHERN

9/11 Memorial & Museum, New York City

Highly influenced by the New York Abstract Expressionist movement in the 1960’s, Michael Mulhern’s surfaces were heavily marked by pooling paint, drips and curves, paintings of tremendous vibrancy and depth and nuance. In the years immediately following September 11, Mulhern decamped to a temporary studio in Long Island City, where he began experimenting with paints from his Cedar Street studio – paints mixed and infused with the ash from the lost Trade Towers.
