Weatherbee’s Revenge is the title of a new exhibition featuring works by Mark Mulroney, which opened last night at Chicago’s Ebersmoore Gallery. When the artist was a child, his mother gave him a book titled “What’s Happening To Me?” in hopes of answering all of his questions concerning puberty and sex. For the show, Mulroney continues his irreverent imagery through a new series of works on paper which explore his youthful and naive understanding of sex as an adolescent. The book’s illustrations and texts proved to be completely misleading and altered the artist’s understanding of sex. As a response to the comedy and horror that ensued, the artist has created the work in Weatherbee’s Revenge.

Last spring, Mulroney participated in DailyServing’s 1000 Days exhibition in Los Angeles. The artist has also exhibited with Mixed Greens in New York City, Gregory Lind Gallery in San Francisco and the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego. The artist received his MFA from University of California at Santa Barbara, and currently lives and works in Rochester, NY.

The artist’s work is linked together by an unmistakable humor and graphic sensibility. Mulroney moves seamlessly through several types of media, including installation, painting, drawing and photography, not allowing any one medium to define his practice. Similarly, the artist freely selects pop-cultural sources to serve as inspiration for his works, pulling from magazines, cartoons, and advertisements. Synthesizing these sources with disconnected personal memories, Mulroney’s work results in an array of irreverent imagery infused with unsurpassed wit.

Mulroney is a graduate of Casino and Gaming Management Degree Program at Morrisville State University. This year, the artist has exhibited Follow the Nosebleeds with Mixed Greens in New York City and Wet With Glee at ArtSpace in New Haven, Connecticut. Mulroney has also participated in countless group exhibitions including works at Evergreene Gallery in Geneva, Switzerland, RAID Projects in Los Angeles and the National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, Poland.

Artist Mark Mulroney opened his third exhibition with Mixed Greens in New York City this weekend, titled Follow the Nosebleeds. For this exhibition the artist uses a variety of media such as drawing, paintings, sound and sculpture to examine stories of traditional American life. Seeming disconnected memories of the artist synthesis into a variety of irreverent religious imagery and references of contemporary american culture. The artist transforms the space at Mixed Greens to be a intimate space loaded with absurd and humorous works.

Mulroney is a graduate of The University of California at Santa Barbara. Previous solo exhibitions have taken place at Gregory Lind Gallery in San Francisco, Richard Heller in Los Angeles and The San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art. The artist has also participated in countless group exhibitions including works at OKOK Gallery in Seattle and RAID Projects in Los Angeles.
