Join us on Saturday 3/15 from 4-6 pm for a conversation with printmaker Robert Maloney about his solo exhibition Innerstates.
Urban landscapes have been a significant focus in Robert Maloney’s work throughout his career as an artist, culminating in his contribution to shaping the skyline of Jamaica Plain through the Haffenreffer Brewery smokestack restoration project in 2017. Maloney’s prints feature iconic images of urban decay and renewal, layering scaffolding, billboards and water towers to construct angular, abstracted depictions of dynamic metropolitan scenery.
The work in Innerstates expands on Maloney’s familiar visual lexicon to encompass more intimate themes, using the metaphor of architectural deterioration to process the experience of losing his father, William Maloney, to Alzheimer’s disease in 2023. William was a prolific artist and a profound inspiration to Robert, who turned to his artistic practice to grapple with the challenge of witnessing his father’s decline from Alzheimer’s. Innerstates highlights Maloney’s pursuit of inventive ways to push the boundaries of printmaking and his own fascination with the visual language of the city.
