MIXED GREENS - ARTIST: Mark Mulroney

NYC GALLERY OPENINGS - http://nycgalleryopenings.com

Mixed Greens and Mark Mulroney present:
Yellow Bikini, a show of paintings, collages,
booklets, prints, album covers, sketchbooks,
and drippy sculptures that are sure to appeal to
children and oatmeal lovers alike.

Growing up in rural Orange County, Mulroney
was allowed sugar cereal only on his birthday.
His mother would take him to the grocery store
and let him pick out any box of cereal that he
liked. "I got Trix every time," he states. "I didn't
even care about the cereal—I was after the box.
I just knew that me and that rabbit were
gonna' have some good times together."
Mulroney admits it was common for him to
sleep with the box for several nights after his
birthday. "I got everything I could out of the box
of cereal," he confesses.

Now that Mulroney is old enough to buy
whatever cereal he likes whenever he wants, he
has little desire to sleep with a box. He does,
however, want to share that sense of adventure
and togetherness that he felt as a child with as
many people as possible. It is his hope that his
art lives up to the task.
