I came upon Marlon Mullen‘s distinctly intriguing aesthetic at JTT on Manhattan’s Lower East Side earlier this year. A largely non-verbal artist with autism spectrum disorder, Marlon Mullen fashions paintings — primarily based on images from covers of art magazines — at NIAD Art Center, a Bay Area art studio that supports artists living with disabilities. I was delighted to once again view his work — this time at the 2019 Whitney Biennial.
