Roaming the metaphysical areas between desires and actuality, Eli McMullen attracts on the familiarity of suburban and wooded landscapes to bid us into dreamlike worlds. Plumbing the interaction of notion and creativeness, his acrylic work invite us into moments of surprise and transcendence.
The Richmond, Virginia-based artist’s forthcoming solo exhibition, Sleep Stroll at Thinkspace Projects, explores relationships between nostalgia, spirituality, nature, and psychological phenomena. He celebrates “fleeting moments that really feel suspended in time, glimmers that quietly urge to be searched,” the gallery says.
Sleep Stroll welcomes viewers into nighttime forest scenes that glow with geometric gentle types, altar-like structure, and prismatic reflections. Titles like “Need Path Finder,” “Liminal Bridge,” and “Kismet Gateway” spotlight the essence of hyperlinks, portals, metamorphoses, and in-between areas.
The present runs Might 3 to 24 in Los Angeles. See extra on McMullen’s website and Instagram.
