Transfigurations - Daniel Mullen

This publication presents Daniel Mullen’s recent works on paper in a distinctive leporello format, emphasizing vivid geometric forms that signify a transformative phase in his artistic practice. Created during his residency in Wassaic, New York, Mullen chooses acrylic paint and paper to highlight the immediacy and intimacy of his creative process. He adopts a daily routine of building upon the work from the previous day, leading to a contemplative and systematic exploration of color and form, intentionally devoid of a fixed endpoint.
Named “Transfigurations,” this series reflects Mullen’s disciplined approach, with every piece stemming from and expanding upon its predecessor, fostering a natural evolution of concepts and imagery. This cyclical process delves into the subtleties of color and structure, urging the audience to fully engage with the unfolding narrative.
“Transfigurations” explores the complex relationship between the individual artworks and their collective impact. The leporello design not only unifies these pieces but also enhances the audience’s experience, highlighting the transformative essence of Mullen’s artistic inquiry. The collection invites intentional engagement, encouraging viewers to look beyond the surface and discover the deeper, interconnected narrative each piece conveys.
