Jill Mulleady

Jill Mulleady’s practice shifts between close observations of everyday reality and highly elaborated imaginary worlds. In her work, references to historical painting are put into communication with images taken from both popular culture and personal life, creating a strange feeling of merged, multiplied temporalities. These paintings can be seen as allegories for the contemporary experience of the image as interface: not just a picture but a means of mobilising attention, bodies and affects within an increasingly virtualised social space. Her work has been displayed at Kunsthalle Bern, Swiss Institute Contemporary Art New York, National Archaeological Museum, Naples, and Eduardo Sívori Museum, Buenos Aires.
