Current Exhibit
THE ARCHITECTURE OF HAPPINESS
Solo show by Michelle Mullet
This exhibition presents Mullet’s newest body of work, which solidified after the artist’s experience at the Chateau Orquevaux Artist Residency in France. “When I am given the sacred space and time to create, I enjoy using every minute of the day to paint, research and investigate my own questions of power, strength, joy and levity.”
Michelle Mullet is a self taught artist, mother and caregiver with interest in painting Brutalist architecture and Soviet bus stops in an abstract style. Her work combines a bright, colorful palette with powerful, concrete structures to create a new type of art she calls Brutalist Feminism. Painting Brutalist architecture with a joyful, colorful palette questions ideas of the feminine/masculine binary and invites viewers to examine what makes a space feel safe, and how to view our own dystopian reality through a brighter lens. Michelle is influenced by the color theory of Josef Albers, the playfulness and minimalism of Barbara Hepworth and the quiet, gentle paintings of Giorgio Morandi.
