LUCIUS Q LOO MURALS

One of my strangest projects to date, I created a unique on the walls improvised 360 mural in each of four toilet stalls (rooms) at Lucius Q Barbecue restaurant from Feb.24th to Mar.10th. The appeal was a combination of yet another play on opposites, fine art in a low place and the opportunity to produce immersive interiors, not unlike VR environments, but with traditional (analog) materials.

Filling the Void


Aug 5 - Oct 16

The Gallery at The Summit Hotel  
5345 Medpace Way
Cincinnati OH 45227

Opening reception
Thursday Aug 5
 5-8 pm  

The Gallery at the Summit Hotel is pleased to announce the solo exhibition, Rick Mallette: Filling the Void. This show opens with a reception on Thursday, August 5 from 5 - 8 PM. The reception is free and open to the public and the artist will be present.

For this exhibition, the gallery presents large-scale murals and paintings by Cincinnati-based artist Rick Mallette. Reading much like automatic drawings, Mallette's pieces are distinguished by the highly animated movement of their biomorphic imagery. Bursting with energy, these shapes float abstractly against almost claustrophobic grounds, and with few places for the eye to rest, offer unending surprises for the viewer. Of special significance are a number of new works made by the artist specifically for this exhibition. 

Rick Mallette received an MFA in 1994 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BFA in 1990 from Western Michigan University. The artist shows extensively in the region and is in a number of important collections.

Rick Mallette: Filling the Void runs through October 16 and can be viewed 24 hours a day except when the gallery is closed for a private event. For more information and to confirm the gallery is open, call The Summit Hotel, 513-527-9900.
