# Bridget Mullen: *Who Needs Muscles If Nothing Is Heavy?* Sep 12 – Oct 24, 2026 · on view Fifteen paintings by Bridget Mullen in which shapes and figures mutate from one canvas to the next, in her fourth solo show at the gallery. Arranged as five series and two single works, the paintings each borrow a shape, structure or figure from another and alter it, so forms evolve across the room. The title painting shows empty sleeves and pant legs standing upright with no limbs inside; Magician’s Assistant spreads a four-legged figure on a staircase across two door-sized canvases. Mullen sketches nothing in advance and starts from abstraction, drawing on Merleau-Ponty’s ideas about perception and the body.
