Utilizing a process consisting of alternating layers of varnish and sanding, Mallmann is able to create the illusion of depth from which his figures emerge. This primary imagery found in Mallmann’s work evokes the ultimate existential expression of the human condition. Vaporous greens and umbers fuse to form a glass-like veneer enhancing the air of mystery and enchantment surrounding the artist’s work.
Mallmann’s new body of work expands the concept of ‘landscape’ to include an interior topography ablaze with atmospheric reference. He paints a lustrous, undulating terrain - a place where inspiration and mystery converge.
Born in 1953 in Montevideo, Uruguay, Arturo Mallmann currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His work has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States and South America.
