Four white circles stand out against a green square, arranged symmetrically in the four quadrants. The piece’s pop and geometric style is contrasted by the irregularity of the finish; there are small spots and imperfections that hint at the manufacturing process.
Mullican uses symbols, pictograms, and images from everyday life to create a personal language system that emerges as a model of cognitive perception, which the artist symbolizes through color. His artworks include finger paintings, colored flags, pictograms, reading performances, and hypnosis experiments on himself and others.
