Robert Mullenix, Ad Hoc
In Ad Hoc, artist and Miami University professor Robert Mullenix veers from his usual vernacular of landscape paintings to create a body of work using appropriated advertising half-tone art and collaged/repurposed paintings. “There was an immediacy to this process of combining stolen imagery and constructing objects from studio refuse,” he wrote. The result is a new way of looking at old advertising imagery made new with the inclusion of lush paint.
