Mulhall Portrait Artist

William Mulhall has built up a major international reputation as an innovative and dynamic artist.

He is the first rock ‘n’ roll artist. "I was born within an earshot of a jukebox. I was raised on rock and roll". He draws inspiration from the life of music bars, rock concerts and nightclubs of modern Ireland.

Mulhall’s artistic world is populated with rock stars and party girls, dancing their lives away in neon drenched night town. But Mulhall is careful not to copy the lifestyle of his characters. “If I was to party like the characters in my pictures, I’d have been dead long ago. Those guys never stop.”





Mulhall uses vibrant colours in his work to depict the modern world and has found that is only recently that his palette has found acceptance. "I have been exploiting colour for more than 30 years but there was quite a big resistance to colour. However, the trend now seems to be changing.”

As the real world changes to become more like Mulhall painting so the artist himself works hard to keep ahead of the trend pionerred. "My work continually surprises me. I am always trying to break boundaries and move forward in direction.”



Illustrated, feature articles on his life and art have appeared in Moro, Guitarist, NME, Hot press, in Dublin, The Sunday Tribune, Business Plus and New York art guide. A major interview with Mulhall in discussion with Brian Lally was broadcast on RTE Radio 1’s flagship Arts Show Rattlebag in August 2001.
