DISAPPEARANCE
at the Royal Society of Arts
An exhibition in support of Acme’s campaign to save the Acme Propeller Factory - where Nick Malone has had a studio for 25 years.
Acme Propeller Factory is the largest remaining long-term studio building of its kind in London, and the UK's biggest building dedicated solely to artist studios at genuinely affordable rent. The lease on the building is due to end and the artist studio charity, Acme, have until December 2025 to raise the funds to buy it. Fifty percent of all sales from the exhibition will be donated to the campaign.
“Malone works in a large number of media at an accomplished and sophisticated level each time.”
— Sacha Craddock
“Malone's paintings explore the points at which painting passes into inscription, is transformed, and passes back again, and where we might reconsider what we look for, and what we might read, in a painting.”
— JJ Charlesworth
“The art of Nick Malone exists at the interface of abstraction and representation, of visual art and literature.”
— Mark Hudson
“In Malone’s work, both space and time play a role, and a certain level of ambiguity necessarily arises depending in part on which plane you view it from.”
— Anna MacNay
