ABOUT THE WORK

A Vocabulary of Images — Drawing on a variety of Western cultural images, Mallari holds up a mirror in which our deepest spiritual angst seems to be reflected. The artist is more concerned with conveying the spirit of the momentous event rather than its concrete material circumstances. The painting seems to be in the grip of some intense but fleeting mood — the intensity arising from its very transitoriness. The subject itself akin to panic emanates from vague and uneasy sources.
