Fuzzy brush marks, large patches of colour, indistinct in outline, yet energetic images – often heated by eroticism – introduce Nick Mullaly artworks from Australia. Cover picture: Bathroom.
Nick Mullaly is an artist based in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia. His oil paintings combine filmic and expressionistic sensibilities to explore romance, desire, and the pregnant moment. These paintings emerge from drawings, observations and notes as poetic or allegorical prompts, illuminated in an ambery glow. Ambiguity of time and gesture is formed in unsharpened and fuzzy brush marks, pictures within pictures, and a freeze frame sensibility. Light interacting with shadow and careful attention to framing embed these compositions with intimacy. Languid male figures cradle lovers and charged objects, opening hidden moments and hidden desires.
