"Superbloom" and "Supernova" are two 17’ x 14.5’ acrylic paintings on canvas from artist Nicole Mueller, commissioned by American Real Estate Partners (AREP) and Artists Circle Fine Art for the newly renovated main lobby of 1625 Eye Street in Washington D.C. Located just blocks away from the White House, the two paintings are intended to become vibrant fixtures, their bold color captivating people from the street and drawing them into the lobby, their colossal scale fully immersing viewers up close. Built from an abstract visual language, Mueller uses color and form in her paintings to create a sensation of being in transition. Her work is rooted in the idea that nothing is static but exists in a constant state of flux.

Commissioned at the start of 2021, during a moment of political, social, and economic transformation, the paintings’ energetic composition, bursting with color and fragmented forms, make them feel as if they are simultaneously exploding and imploding, collapsing and breaking apart, or merging together all at once, themselves suspended in a moment of evolution. The massive scale of each painting renders them each monuments to a world in transition, intended to serve as a reminder of things that are greater than oneself.

The painting on the left, titled "Superbloom," refers to a natural phenomenon of Western landscapes where wildflowers bloom in unison to create an explosion of color across the landscape. The delicate balance of ecological conditions required in order for them to occur makes “superblooms” a rare occurrence. The painting on the right is titled "Supernova," referring to an astrological event—also fleeting—sparked by a sudden acceleration of energy in the universe, creating the appearance of a brilliant burst that fades slowly over time. While one references something earthly, and the other more cosmic, both paintings represent a magnificent, naturally occurring event, that is also impermanent. This dual connection between macro- and micro- is characteristic of Mueller’s paintings and the dichotomous relationships they represent.
