Beauty and violence remain close in Billy Maloney’s monotypes. Working with a palette knife, he pulls ink into sweeping bands, creating images in which faces and bodies seem to form and fracture within the marks.
A vivid yellow ground sets a dense gathering of figures in sharp relief. Faces emerge from the dark marks, then nearly disappear back into them, each person distinct yet inseparable from the crowd.
Drawing on history, mythology and dreams, Maloney lets memories and subconscious associations guide each composition. Immigration, oppression and the struggle to determine one’s own fate run through these works, taking shape through an intuitive process rather than a predetermined narrative.
