Untitled (Learning from the person's work: House, red)
2009
A bold red house rendered in a simplified, diagrammatic style dominates the canvas, reflecting Mullican's longstanding interest in systems of representation and the codification of everyday subjects. The work draws from his ongoing exploration of how meaning is constructed through imagery, symbols, and language, situating the domestic form within a broader conceptual framework. The use of oil paint lends a rich, physical presence to what might otherwise read as a schematic or sign-like image.
