Leo Muellner is a painter of history, politics, and memory. While rooted in the tradition of the epic narrative, his work is more historiographic than historical. There is still a tragic story to be told, but it is far more important to convey the place these dramas hold in our own warped imaginations, and to capture the very distortions and refractions that decades of war, revolution, repression, hope, cynicism and commoditization have piled upon the distant acts. Along with grand historical paintings and propaganda art, Muellner’s catalog of work includes screen and block printing, digital art, landscape drawings, sculpture, and small books. Muellner lives and makes art in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
