Initially the works were observational but as the year unfolded, they became less observational and more emotional, a contemplation of the force of nature. Taken from his imagination Malcolm’s expressive mark making reflects something fundamentally primal that places us in the wider world. This new series of landscape drawings will be joined by a selection of Malcolm’s figure drawing work. The altered states of the figure drawings began to follow this idea of the glitch but using traditional drawing techniques rather than contemporary media, aligning the past with the present. It plays with the idea of perception and how there is and never has been a single reality.” 2 September - 3 October: Kobi & Teal, 57 Catherine Street, FROME, BA11 1DA.
