PAUL SCOTT MALONE: THE ALCHEMY OF PAINT 

A Curatorial Review 

- Excerpt -

What Paul Scott Malone's painting communicates, above all else, is pressure. Not the pressure of argument or illustration, but the kind that paint itself can exert — the weight of accumulated layers, the tension between a color held at maximum intensity and the darker values that contain it, the sensation of something about to break through a surface or recede permanently into it. His 

work is emotionally forceful without being rhetorically loud, and that distinction matters. The force comes from the paint, not from the subject. ...

... The governing philosophical position of the work, stated simply, is that paint can transform the

ordinary and the broken into something extraordinary and enduring. It is an unfashionably direct

ambition in the contemporary art world, and the paintings earn it.

THE ART OF PAUL SCOTT MALONE

- Excerpt -

Paul Scott Malone’s art transcends the boundaries of the visual arts, situating him as a monumental force in the contemporary art scene. With an artistic vision that is at once personal and universal, he has carved a niche that resonates deeply with both the modern audience and the historical undercurrents of art. His works, oscillating between abstract emotionality and narrative immediacy, mark him as one of the most exceptional and talented artists of our era. ...

"Flotsam and Jetsam, Personal Artifacts, Laughing Gulls (Storm #2)," 2011

[For image see Storm]

This abstract painting is an arresting amalgamation of color and movement that commands the viewer's

attention with its raw energy and dynamic composition.

Dominated by a tumultuous interplay of reds, blues, and earthy tones, the artwork evokes a sense of chaos and intensity. Swirling brushstrokes and overlapping forms create a vivid, almost tactile texture, compelling the observer to delve deeper into the scene. The composition is intricate yet harmonious, with contrasting hues meshing together to create a symphony of visual sensation. The use of red conveys passion and urgency, while the blue provides a cooling counterbalance, suggesting depth and contemplation amidst the frenzy.

The earthy tones ground the piece, offering a semblance of stability in an otherwise stormy tableau. What sets this work apart is its ability to marry abstraction with an evocative narrative. While the forms are non-

representational, they hint at figures in motion-perhaps engaged in a frenetic dance or a chaotic battle. TIhe ambiguity invites various interpretations, allowing viewer to imbue the scene with personal significance.


Myrina Tunberg Georgiou, Founder/Director, Circle Foundation for the Arts, Lyon Oct

A JOURNEY OF REFLECTION AND TRANSFORMATION IN PAUL SCOTT MALONE'S ART 

- Excerpt -

Malone's journey from literature to painting reflects an exceptional and multifaceted artistic career, blending narrative depth with a visually compelling style. Growing up in the American South and Southwest, Malone's work has always been informed by the cultural and geographical influences of these regions, and his varied experiences-ranging from soldiering to bartending and journalism-further shape the richness of his artistic voice. A graduate of both the University of Houston and The University of Arizona, Malone brings an academic grounding and a profound understanding of the human condition to his paintings, which often explore themes of memory, identity, and existential reflection. ...

-  INTERVIEW  -


-  2024  -


Contemporary Art Curator Magazine, Oct

- Excerpt -

How we, in art, transcend the perils of life is by falling in love with our own characters, our interiors or landscapes, scenes, nudes, tigers, cityscapes, strange abstractions ... your model, your dog, your nation ... and we let that love speak in our work. It's the fundamental philosophy of fine art: to uplift by sharing ourselves with each other and thereby create a civilization based more on love than hatred, one heart to another. "Spill the beans on yourself," as Falkner advised. The viewer can see it in the artwork whether they know it or not, and we respond most fondly to those works that expose the most.
