This is a description of Malcolm’s exhibition from the gallery:

This solo exhibition, like his first at Water Street Gallery in 2015, reveals the development of  an almost a magnetic pull between two creative aspects in his work – that of abstraction and realism.    

Although principally a painter of landscapes and still life, Malcolm uses his many sketchbook studies and drawings as a starting point from which a fully abstract image often develops; he doesn’t have a fixed image in mind when he starts, preferring to let the imagery evolve through the process of painting.

His work is distinctive and captures the essential characteristics of a subject, it evolves through the painting process until he feels the tensions of the composition are right. Energy and a sense of freedom is what he strives for, allowing the spontaneity of the marks to be interesting in their own right.
