Matters of Decay | Paintings by Constance Mallinson
Jun 09, 2012 - Jul 28, 2012
Closing Reception, Jul 28, 2012, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Constance Mallinson uses the traditional genre of landscape painting to suggest a new way of looking at the world. For the last 25 years her large scale oil paintings have consisted of a unique painted "collage" technique in which she constructs panoramic landscapes from thousands of photo derived images via an Old Masters technique. In addition to expanding the traditional single view landscape to incorporate multiple views, perspectives, time frames, and narratives simultaneously, her paintings have dealt with the complex global environmental issues we are now facing. In the past few years, she has used her collage process and technical virtuosity to make large-scale paintings that merge the man-made world and nature literally by constructing figures from images of leaves, twigs, and decaying organic material. They are grotesque meditations on both the mortality of humans and the world in which they live. Her full-figured "nature people" reference both the works of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, the 16th-century Italian known for paintings in which still life objects are used to form surreal portraits, and famous paintings, such as Edouard Manet’s 1863 seminal painting "Olympia."
In examining her recent paintings created from decaying matter, L.A. Times critic Christopher Knight wrote that "after painting savvy landscapes for more than twenty five years"… the current "imagery suggests the way in which we project ourselves on conceptions of nature, creating the natural world even as we go about assuring its destruction."
Mallinson has had numerous group and solo exhibitions in galleries and institutions ranging from Ace Gallery, Santa Monica Museum, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Angles Gallery, and Pomona College Art Museum. She has been the recipient of a National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship, City of Los Angeles Artist Grant, and has attended residencies from the Djerassi Foundation to the Santa Fe Art Institute. Her work is represented in the collections of Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Orange County Museum of Art, San Jose Art Museum, Pomona College Art Museum and many private corporations and collections. She has also taught painting and theory at many major universities in California that include UCLA and Claremont Graduate University. In addition, Mallinson's criticism and writing has appeared in many art publications from Art in America to the current internet journal The Times Quotidian.

From June 4, when the BLM protests were eclipsing coronavirus in the news. Someone in my neighborhood posted about this project she was working on on her fence, researching names of people victimized because of their race and adding each one. She offered it as a backdrop to have meaningful conversations with kids, so I took Evan over to check it out during Ava’s nap. Afterward, we watched some of the KidLit Rally for Black Lives.

Had a lot of fun attending today’s free Sunday Sketch program at the National Sporting Museum, hosted by Kim T. Richards, who did a fantastic job teaching us about looking closely at value and the subject matter in front of you. It was great to see fellow Loudoun County Magazine board member Jessica Monte was there today, as well! Hoping to do more of these as a means of getting me back into drawing on a regular basis.

No matter who you are, at some point in your life, you will feel invisible. It's normal and you are not alone.
A scan from the latest Adelaide Matters.
One of the judges from the competition, Kristian Mumford wrote about the work - This strong and deeply spiritual work, for a moment, seems alive and bursting forward with trinity and creativity. But when one looks closer, one can see it’s internal coals. It burns ever so slowly like our sun, fuelling it’s love and passion to be, and withstand the test along the way. So be it.
Humna says: When painting these hands all I wanted people to see the true look of my Henna, the rawness in its texture and the life hidden behind in the bright orange color that shines through on the body, making the soul glow with inner light. This piece beautifully describes not only my intense Passion for Henna, but also captures me evolving into a new culture and time, opening my hands to welcome the beginning of a wonderful journey. A click by Mandi Whitten, the story of my Henna and moment of me captured forever !
