A one-night pop-up art exhibition featuring new work by painters Micheal Haran and Paul Mulvey took place at the Barley Mow Centre in Chiswick on Wednesday 25th March. ‘ART/WORKS’ supported both The Upper Room and The Peru Mission in Iquitos, which delivers community, education and welfare projects in one of the most deprived regions of the Peruvian Amazon.
We are extremely grateful to both artists for donating a substantial proportion of their takings to each of their chosen charities.
Micheal Haran, a multi-disciplinary artist trained at the Slade School of Fine Art, works from a studio in Brentford in oil, acrylic and mixed media. His paintings draw on abstracted landscapes, dreamlike figurative scenes and vivid surrealism, influenced by Dreamtime traditions, biomorphic forms, Dada, post-impressionism and futurism. Having lived in Iquitos for two and a half years, Haran has a personal connection to The Peru Mission and is committed to supporting its work. His portfolio can be viewed at www.michealharan.art.
Paul Mulvey, a graphic designer and painter based near Portobello Road, returns to exhibiting after two decades working as an art director in the music festival industry. His work is shaped by the colour and tonality of Derain, Vuillard, Valtat, Monet and Bonnard, and deeply informed by Vincent van Gogh. After visiting the National Gallery’s 2025 Van Gogh exhibition, Mulvey travelled through the south of France to retrace the artist’s steps. His paintings explore memory, perception and the emotional resonance of place.
