John Mulvaney: Philadelphia, PA, United States; John Mulvaney is a figurative painter who graduated from Tyler School of Art in 1994 and is now an active artist in Philadelphia, PA. He received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Boston University in 1996, and in 2001 was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. Mulvaney’s work, best described as figurative expressionism, consists of a dense array of strokes and slashes of color that coalesce into: a figure, a head, an interior, and sometimes landscape. His pieces, ranging from somber to explosive in mood, always display a raw immediacy, and often draw attention to the existential pathos of the sitter.
