Reinterpreting images that he finds in magazines, Marlo Mullen fashions infectious paintings characterized by playful abstractions. Diagonosed with autism spectrum disorder and largely non-verbal, Mullen communicates essentially through his artworks. Based in Berkeley, California, Mullen, who was born in 1963, creates his work at NIAD Art Center in Richmond. Marlon Mullen: 2017 – 2018, featuring the artist’s paintings largely based on images from covers of ARTnews, is on view at JTT, 191 Chrystie Street 2F, through Sunday, February 17. Several more of Mullen’s artworks than can be seen at JTT, follow:
