Mallory Page (b. 1983)
BID, Louisiana State University
MFA, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Mallory Page is a New Orleans-based painter who utilizes poetics to identify the psychic dimensions of image-making. Her work is vapor-like, moveable and truthful to shape an accumulated atmosphere that finds rest in abstraction. The paintings hold “psychic space”: a fluid space where that which goes unseen becomes an inherent part of sensory responses.
"Through a framework of poetics, I explore scientific concepts, bodily function, mental and energetic happenings, and how they convene with nature. Paintings employ ranges of color in transparent layers, and reproduce not the exactness of memory, but the shell of an atmosphere that forms around it--galaxies that are unknown and promising. Whether it appears soft and fluid by way of acrylic wash or crystallizes through an accumulation of textural materials and oil paint, everything becomes tools of an articulation of the senses."
