IG:@George H Mulholland
Like most of George H Mulholland's work there is and element of humour as well as absurdness The imagination we have as kids and the dream world we live at night can be as real as paint on a canvas George H Mulholland works with mixed media, using what feels right at the time He lives by the rule that one should approach life like a painter a canvas and hopes others will give it a go too Drunk Kung Fu Vladik
