Artist Talk "Eternal City" - by Sean Mulkey

Join us for an Artist Talk with Sean Mulkey as he shares the inspiration, process, and vision behind his solo exhibition, Eternal City. Eternal City is a solo exhibition by contemporary artist Sean Mulkey, showcasing a series of vibrant, imaginative paintings that explore hyper-stylized urban environments. Each piece invites viewers into one of four fictional districts—Corner District, Industrial District, Roseville Art District, and Grand Hills District—each rich with color, movement, and layered narratives.

Through playful architectural forms, dynamic perspectives, and immersive visual storytelling, Eternal City becomes more than just a city—it’s a world built for exploration, adventure, and escape. This exhibition invites you to lose yourself in an urban universe curated by creativity, culture, and curiosity.

Join us for the opening night and experience the city come alive through art, music, and interactive elements.

Artist Bio:

Raised in Albany, Georgia, and currently residing in Atlanta, Sean Mulkey is a self-

taught artist who has embraced his passion for fine art despite attaining a degree in

both architectural and mechanical drafting and design. After decades of working a 9-to-

5 job, Sean decided to finally pursue his artistic dreams and become a full-time artist.

Sean considers himself a contemporary landscape painter, creating unique worlds for

viewers to get lost in. His preferred medium is acrylic paint, which he uses to express

and reconstruct his vision of the world and beyond. By utilizing distinctive perspectives

of urban architecture, Sean creates visual movement throughout his environments to

draw the viewer in.

His art style can be described as very urban, whimsical, animated, and vibrant in color,

with touches of grit and familiar details throughout. Sean's work continuously evolves as

he pushed the boundaries within his pieces to fully capture his creative vision. His goal

is to build an entire universe for those seeking exploration and adventure, curated by

the imagination of his audience.

Sean has exhibited his art in various local galleries and pop-up shows, offering different

perspectives for exploring one's curiosity of the unknown while reconnecting his

audience with the familiar. Sean currently works out of a studio in Powder Spring,

Georgia, where he continues to create and share his captivating art with the world.
