Lenore Malen: Paintings and Collages

The Richard E. Fuller Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of paints and collages by Ms. Lenore Malen at Beaver College from October 8 through October 19. The public is invited to attend the opening reception Wednesday, October 8 at 4:30 PM.

Ms. Malen’s large scale paintings combine the delicacy of areas drawn in crayon separated by heavy vertical ridges of transparent acrylic; the result is a modified grid structure reflecting qualities of luminous color and light which the artist relates to the experience of landscape, perceived as a “scrim of light.” The pastel drawings employ a similar structure with the addition of small photographs and three-dimensional units collages onto the surface. Viewed with the paintings, they provide an interesting variation extending the idea of illusion and reality.

A participant in numerous group shows, Ms. Malen has had solo exhibitions in New York and Sweden, as well as the Marian Locks Gallery in Philadelphia.

She has acted as both panelist and moderator before groups, as well as on TV. She has been on the teaching staff of several colleges and frequently contributes articles on contemporary criticism for major art journals.
