Martin Mull’s Haunting Art Revealed

Martin Mull’s long-hidden art world is finally on display in a major new exhibition at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, co-curated by Steve Martin and Ann Philbin. Titled “Martin Mull: The Joys of Indoor/Outdoor Living,” the show opens June 27 and runs through October 17, 2027, spotlighting over fifty surreal, darkly humorous paintings that critique postwar American life. Known for his comedy and acting, Mull was also a serious painter whose work blends childhood memories with unsettling imagery — think women floating over trains or tightrope walkers in tiny rooms. This is the first major museum show of his art in 20 years, offering a haunting, timely look at suburban perfection and hidden anxieties.
