Excerpted from a review of exhibition at David Findlay Gallery, NYC, 1978

To complement his more focused approach to painting, in 1975 Mullen began doing silkscreen prints. He adapted his systematic painting techniques to a silkscreen process. Using specially hand-made paper, Mullen has created an intricate, colorful pattern that he sometimes repeats through twenty and thirty paintings. The result: prints so uniquely “woven” they have a meditative feeling about them – as if one were in the presence of intricately woven tapestries resembling oriental scrolls.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
