Whenever I mix the eighty-four colors that make up my palette, I have to test each one to be certain that the viscosity is just right and the paint will make the desired mark. Consequently, I have to sling the paint as I will do in the paintings to ascertain whether they will. In the past I did this on used printer paper and threw them in the trash. [...]
Whenever I mix the eighty-four colors that make up my palette, I have to test each one to be certain that the viscosity is just right and the paint will make the desired mark. Consequently, I have to sling the paint as I will do in the paintings to ascertain whether they will. In the past I did this on used printer paper and threw them in the trash. The last time I did it, though, I decided to do it on good paper and save them. This is the second time I've done this. They were always intended to be finished works, even though the woven paper itself is a way to use up left over paper and the paint would otherwise be wasted.

Stephen Mauldin is a contemporary American artist known for his experimental approach to painting. His fascination with art began at the age of seven, and by ten, he was exploring oil painting, inspired by an early encounter with Leonardo da Vinci's engineering works. This experience sparked a lifelong passion for pushing the boundaries of paint and its capabilities.

Throughout his career, Mauldin has continuously experimented with new techniques, leading him to develop innovative methods such as creating "paint assemblages" by transferring paint from glass, extruding paint from syringes to form web-like paintings, and slinging paint at high speeds from ultra-fine straight pins onto canvas. The marks produced by these techniques, characterized by electric energy and fine detail, became central to his work, particularly in their symbolic resonance with string theory.

Beginning in 2006, Mauldin used this distinct mark to depict "the universe of mind and spirit," drawing inspiration from Hubble Space Telescope images. His work evolved into a series of radiant figures set against webs resembling galaxy clusters, which also mirrored the web of neurons in the brain. This exploration led him to delve deeper into optical color mixing, which he developed through his "Poles" series—an abstract exploration of color interaction through overlapping fine skeins of paint.

Currently, Mauldin is working on a new series of diamond-shaped paintings, expanding on the visual themes from his "Poles" series. These works, featuring raw, torn fabric edges and grommets for wall attachment, focus exclusively on the optical mixing of color. For Mauldin, the magic of painting lies in its ability to transform simple fabric and paint into something extraordinary, a concept he aims to highlight in his latest creations.
