Royal Approval Lenticular by Nuala Mulligan

Drawing upon her love of the camera and the relationship between the camera and the model, Nuala Mulligan creates bold screen prints of strong, beautiful women. Studying Fine Art Mixed Media at the University of Westminster she was inspired to discover the many ways in which materials can be manipulated in order to strengthen an image. Her distinctive interpretations are created through screen printing, and show, she says, “what you can hide in the dark and bring out in the light. It’s having colour layered upon itself, adding to the idea of beauty, and deciding in the case of multiple images which colours will complement each other.”

Silkscreen printing was popularised as an artistic technique by Andy Warhol in the modern era among other notable figures, and Nuala’s unique style lends itself well to the technique with blocks of bold colour highlighting portraits.

For her first collection in the UK, she uses block colour and a finishing of diamond dust to portray some iconic female figures in a bold new light. The response of the viewer is a key factor for her and she maintains that art should be a dialogue allowing communication between us all.

Elizabeth was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Her father ascended the throne on the abdication of his brother King Edward VIII in 1936, from which time she was the heir presumptive. She was educated privately at home and began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. In 1947, she married Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, a former prince of Greece and Denmark, with whom she had four children: Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.
