The Story
Size:30 x 27 in.
Toby Mulligan’s You'll Never Know, a 15" x 12" original painting, is a mesmerising study of the human form, capturing the essence of movement, expression, and spontaneity. The composition presents a series of fluid, blue-toned figures in varying poses, each exuding a unique energy and emotion. Mulligan's deft use of ink and line work enhances the sense of immediacy, making each figure feel as though it has emerged effortlessly from the paper. His restrained yet confident strokes create an ethereal quality, allowing the viewer to engage with the piece on both a visual and emotional level.
Mulligan is known for his instinctive and dynamic approach to art. His practice is deeply experimental, often incorporating unconventional materials and historical techniques into his work. He thrives on the unpredictability of the creative process, rarely pre-planning compositions, instead allowing each piece to unfold organically. His ability to capture raw human emotion and movement has earned him widespread recognition, including having his work featured in the BP Portrait Award and commissioned by high-profile collectors such as Roger Federer and Mick Jagger.
With You'll Never Know, Mulligan continues his exploration of form and feeling, demonstrating his masterful ability to convey depth and presence with minimal yet impactful mark-making. This piece exemplifies his artistic philosophy—being present, unfiltered, and open to the endless possibilities of expression.
