Malm 4 (2018) Painting by Malm

Some of  Malm´s works are an explosion of color and some more subdued, they can be linear, angular and curved. Painting abstracts is always a whole body movement. Malm works from the shoulder more than the hand, using various large strokes. At a certain point he begins to feel some balance of color, shape and design. Usually end up adding several more layers of paint until he see the harmony he is looking for in every position.

Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time. Abstract art, non-figurative art, non-objective art, and non-representational art, are closely related terms. They are similar, but perhaps not of identical meaning.
