Through a close examination of works like "Spring Breaks" and "A Path To Be Taken" we begin to understand that the organic patterns, shapes, and figure-like forms that populate Mullican’s drawings and paintings reflect the artist’s deep and abiding interest in the cosmos. The artist’s enduring quest was to create through his art a new perspective. In his richly textured world, the bird’s eye and the mind’s eye are one, with outer space and inner space conflating and commingling on the striated surfaces of the picture plane.
