Thomas
Mullany has lived as an artist in Rappahannock County for over 15
years. He has exhibited widely in Washington DC, New York, as well
as having several one-person exhibitions at R. H. Ballard Gallery. He
is also known for his extensive mural work in and around Washington,
DC. A graduate of the Corcoran School of Art, Mullany and his wife
Kerrie recently opened The
Studio School in
Flint Hill, VA, where they provide classes, workshops and seminars to
all ages and skill levels.
Mullany’s
current show centers around a recent road trip taken by the artist
and his family to Colorado. The artist states: “…in the vast
space between everything, there is a beauty that may be peculiarly
American. A sunset becomes something else altogether when fanned out
between the blank walls and monoliths of a mid-western strip-mall. A
great, lonely expanse in Wyoming becomes an exciting show as a
two-mile-long coal train roars through a barely-holding-on town of
Lost Springs, population 4. The engineer blows the horn and waves.
There is a strange and alien
beauty to be found in the modern world as it coexists with the land,
the sky, and the water. It is this contrast of natural and man-made
that I find most exciting. Remnants of past architecture and ruins of
former times also catch my attention and I seek to memorialize them
properly. All in all, there is a surreality out there across the
nation, and I have sought to convey that in these paintings.”
We are located at 307 Main St. in Washington, VA and is open 7
days a week from 10 am - 6 pm. For more information or appointments, please call Robert H. Ballard (540) 675-1411.
As much a people will say it probably is not, I would do an depth study to really find out. Don t listen to anyone on the internet saying, yes it is or no way it is not.
