About the Artist

Lee Mullican (1919-1998) was an influential American painter, born in Oklahoma, who became a significant presence in the mid-20th century California art movement. A founding member of the Dynaton group, Mullican developed a distinctive technique involving meticulous, repetitive marks—often described as a "typewriter stroke"—applied with a palette knife or comb. This method created highly textured, shimmering surfaces that evoke a sense of optical vibration and energetic pulsation. His abstract compositions were deeply influenced by Native American art, Jungian psychology, and a profound interest in spirituality and cosmic energies. Mullican's unique vision sought to express the unseen forces of the universe, resulting in works that are both intricately detailed and expansively contemplative.
