Stephen Mauldin is an American artist whose paintings have been widely exhibited in the United States. Throughout the years, he has made it a habit to play with paint, in order to learn more about what it is both capable of and not capable of doing. This experimentation lead Mauldin to invent techniques involving painting on glass and transferring that paint to canvas, modifying syringes to produce webbed compositions, and, most recently, to sling small quantities of paint onto canvas at high speed. The defining characteristic of marks made in this manner is electric energy, however, the incredibly fine nature of the mark is also striking.
