Nick Mann AKA Doodles "ASTRAL RISE" 2011
Nick Mann, who more often goes by the moniker Doodles, creates the kind of ebullient work that has me go about my day with a lighter step. Whether painting on paper or sacralizing spaces around the world with his large-scale murals, his approach feels ecstatic and colorfully reverential. Celestial patterns, winged beings, unfurling vines, bearded pilgrims, and rainbow maidens populate his world in a mythic mash-up that feels unified, despite its disparate parts. His work makes me want to listen to some Larkin Grimm and bliss out for a while.
