\u201cThese paintings feature baseball players, legends of their respective times \u2013 largely the 80s and 90s, though at least one is from an earlier period. These are players my brother used to tell me about as we looked together at our baseball card collections when we were younger,\u201d explained Mullins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the compositions were inspired when Mullins began scanning through highlight reels of the baseball players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u201cFuzzy broadcast images are pulled from these reels and either left alone as found compositions or manipulated to greater or lesser extents before the painting is made as an observational response.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

All of the paintings in the exhibit at 糖心直播 were first made as small oil on panel paintings featuring some of baseball\u2019s stars like Bo Jackson, John Smoltz, Willie Mays and Cal Ripken, Jr. His larger scale paintings were made as observational responses to images of these initial smaller paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mullins further shared, \u201cThe iterative nature of this process lends itself to further abstraction with each additional step away from the initial broadcast image. As a painter, my interest lies in the color and light contrast opportunities presented by the team uniforms along with the iconographic nature of the broadcast image \u2013 an image that isolates the figure despite the fact that baseball is a team sport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
