ARTIST STATEMENT
Mallette works quickly
with no preconceptions, searching for surprises in the medium, formally and
metaphorically, often referencing the human head and figure. Whereas
conventional caricature exaggerates dominant facial/figurative features to
capture a likeness, Mallette abstracts the facial/figurative features to
conjure a unique inner mood or emotion.
His early influences originate in the caricature of his youth, namely cartoons, comics, album art, Mad magazine, Dr. Suess and hot rod culture.
In this exhibition, Rick adds acrylic markers and spray cans to his preferred medium of brushed acrylic paint, enriching his visual vocabulary with fresh expressive possibilities.
