Micheal Maul & Tim Maul

Michael Maul & Tim Maul brings together works on paper by Michael Maul and photographs by Tim Maul, marking the first time the brothers have exhibited together. Michael’s drawings were made at home on legal pads and notebooks, using basic materials he sourced himself. He was devoted to producing repetitive, sequential renderings of characters drawn from television, books and music. These works are paired with Tim’s understated, compelling large-scale Cibachrome prints, from a series of photographs taken in the 1990's of book covers. Together, the two bodies of work engage repetition as both method and subject. In their juxtaposition, unexpected visual harmonies emerge, like the blue corner of a book that echoes the drape of a coat in one of Michael’s drawings. The appreciation of repeated forms and their rhythms spans across both practices. Such correspondences suggest an underlying shared visual language—an affinity that feels not coincidental but fraternal. This exhibtion was organized with Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects Michael Maul (b. Stamford Ct. 1953 - d. Stamford Ct. 2020) Beginning in childhood Michael drew complex, sequential images originating from numerous sources including comic books, TV Guides, and 60’s television programs. In the early 1970’s he began a long association with ARI, a Stamford organization that remains committed to the placement of the intellectually disabled in the workforce with the eventual goal of independent living. Tim Maul (b. 1951, Stamford Ct) Tim Maul is an artist and art writer based in New York and Connecticut. He studied painting at The School of Visual Arts (1969-73) and works in photography, media, performance and has published criticism and essays in Art in America, Flash Art, Afterimage, and OSMOS.
