    Dublin-born painter and musician Karl Mullen will show his most recent work and perform at Yard Dog Gallery during the South by Southwest Music Festival.

    Karl has developed his own non-traditional approach to art making and materials, frequently utilizing walnut oil, raw powder pigment and a wax medium that coalesce into color-saturated, luminous images. Painting largely with his hands, Karl creates distinctive, poetic figures that float on fields of color. The imagery in his paintings is born out of Irish mythology, family and dreams.His newest new works, expressive figures painted with walnut ink on butcher paper, have a warm, rough-hewn feel. They are at once organic and refined.Mullen has been prolific in the past year, recording a CD of new acoustic songs that he will perform at Yard Dog Gallery’s famous Saturday afternoon event during SXSW at 1 pm on Saturday, March 20. Each song has a corresponding painting.
