Nick Malone is a British Artist who crosses art forms to create adventures in painting, drawing and writing, often combining traditional and experimental techniques in unforeseen ways to create Artwork full of dynamic contrasts.
He was born in the north of England, his childhood spent stargazing and exploring the surrounding moors. His subsequent education included postgraduate degrees in Contemporary Literature from Queen Mary College, London and in Fine Art from Central St Martins.
Initially he was a writer, supported by an academic career that included periods as a Visiting Professor at Thessaloniki University, Greece and the University of Wisconsin in the States. His first book, The Burial of Crispin Pyke, had an introduction by Sir William Empson, some of whose ideas in Seven Types of Ambiguity he subsequently transferred into painting. He travelled extensively across Russia, Europe and America, experiences that combined to provide creative material for his later work.
In his thirties, against all advice, he then threw up everything to become an Artist.
Nick Malone’s work has been exhibited across the world, from Japan to the United States, including at the Royal Academy and the Carrousel du Louvre. He has won various awards, including Arts Council England Awards and Fellowship of The Royal Society of Arts. His Artwork and artist’s books are represented in a number of collections, including The British Council, Salford Art Gallery, The Royal Society of Arts, Milton Keynes Gallery Archive, The Drawing Room, The University of Wisconsin, BUPA, The RAC and GlaxoSmithKline.

Initially this series emerged from the human figure when working in Cornwall. The shape of the model with outstretched arms combined with nearby prehistoric stone structures into an elemental cruciform shape to underpin the composition of the picture plane, often invoking a horizon line.
This approach was developed further in the exhibition Balkan Earth, commissioned by the British Council to celebrate their 50 years in Greece, and has continued to underpin a lot of my work thereafter.
