MALT
Growing up in Metro Detroit, Malt began his career as an artist through his passion for skateboarding, graffiti and music. Influenced by the bold lines of graffiti and skateboard graphics, Malt reimagines natural landscapes and the characters that inhabit them, building from bold backdrops to create other-worldly scenes.
More recently Malt strives to bridge the gap from his public murals to more concise studio explorations, sometimes breaking his signature birds down to their most abstract elements. These works deploy the same natural inspirations but deconstruct the imagery, focusing on form rather than subject. Malt uses bold lines and shapes to suggest the abstracted movement of his subjects through space.
With each process I always work from a basic concept or idea but I truly enjoy the path of the unknown, working without restrictions. I start with the idea and a basic sketch, then I lay down a background. From there I go on the adventure the brush or the can of spray paint takes me.
