Dominique Mulhem

Dominique Mulhem, born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, is a French painter.

Childhood

Émile Bernard and Vincent VanGogh on the banks of the Seine in Asnières (1886) Place where Dominique Mulhem passed her childhood

He passes part of its childhood and its adolescence to Asnières-sur-Seine where Georges Seurat painted a bathe in Asnières. Its places of plays were the edges of the Seine where all the large Masters of impressionism came to paint, Émile Bernard, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Paul Signac and Auguste Renoir.

Formation

It made its studies at the National school of the Art schools of Paris. He currently teaches the techniques of painting to the airbrush.

Its work

Its painting refers to the pop culture art and Appropriation (art) by its inspiration. Its technique was at the beginning very pop art with the use of the bomb and the stencil key sets then more hyperrealist with the use of the aerographer to become a contemporary pointillism. He was the first multi-media artist by inventing in 1979 holopeinture where he mixed painting with holography. He had already to work at the beginning of the Seventies on various techniques of restitution of the 3D. Beyond its very representative form, its painting is before very conceptual. The topics are the life of people and the things, unbounded in the covered issues. All the work of Mulhem has the same main idea: the concept of the simultaneous vision. “The glance of the inside” as said Pierre Restany.
