Timothy Taylor Gallery

Martin Maloney distinctive visual style is both apparently simple and yet deceptively complex. Scenes of everyday life rendered in Maloney’s gestural, energetic vocabulary of marks reveal the artist’s intuitive talent for formal composition, complex colour relationships and his interest in historical references fusing high Art with popular culture. Maloney explores art’s traditional subjects in paintings and collages that are energetic and Expressionistic yet considered and deliberate.
