Toby Mulligan

In Repose

Toby Mulligan is a self-taught artist whose style is spontaneous, whereby he simply starts to paint with either hand without any preparatory sketches or planning.  He began painting portraits for people in the mid-eighties, and saw his career take on a new direction when 'About Time', a painting of his daughter, became a 2012 finalist for the BP Portrait Award, and was shown in The National Portrait Gallery, London. Since then he has undertaken several commissions including one of Roger Federer in 2014, and has seen his work exhibited widely, both at home and abroad, and is held in private collections around the Worlds, including that of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger.
