If you find yourself downtown on tonight, get yourself a cocktail and a little cultcha by showing up at the opening party for Bernal Heights artist Ian Robert Mullen at at 111 Minna Gallery:

IAN ROBERT MULLEN was born into a rich family history of master tradesmen that have claimed the city of Philadelphia home for eleven generations. After striking out to attend the painting program at Boston University he found himself right back where he started, working with wood. Curious and inventive by nature, Ian still continues to explore the world around him through his woodworking, oil painting, sculpture, and anything else he can get his hands on.

“Whether it be with wood, plaster, or oil, I derive much of my inspiration from nature. An avid outdoorsman, I am always looking for new elements to implement into my next piece.” – Ian Robert Mullen

If you can’t make it to the opening, Ian’s art will be on display at 111 Minna until March 3. Represent!
