Mall
Exhibition runs: December 7th, 2024 – January 5th, 2025
Haven Gallery is pleased to present a new collection of work from Philippines based artist Mall for her fourth solo show at the gallery. Mall’s solo show features eighteen new mixed media resin paintings and drawings focusing on the friendship and bonding of her female sitter with a feline familiar. Flora, fauna and celestial motifs dance and glimmer creating a multidimensional, active scene representing the vitality and beauty of companionship and closeness. Interconnectivity and harmony of all life continue to pervade Mall’s work, celebrating the beauty and symbiosis of all beings.
About Mall’s Process
Mall layers paint and washi tape between layers of resin. She does this in trays and plates locally sourced in the Philippines. Her use of resin and its transparent nature allows her to build delicate layers that suspend her female figures amidst the natural world surrounding them. This technique allows for a three dimensional presentation highly inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics, the stylization of anime and manga and their contemporary narratives.
