Submission Painting

Malik McKoy

My art practice consists of both painting and digital media, which inform each other as I cycle back and forth between the two. The work is mostly autofiction, bringing the mundane into the realm of fantasy through world building. Humans, animals, and objects hybridize and engage on a lateral level, dissolving hierarchies and classifications that exist in the real world. Graffiti and cartoons inform how I approach figuration, specifically developing a character that can be recognizable no matter how I choose to iterate it.

My compositions are both abstract and representational with a colour palette driven by intuition. What draws me to airbrush as a tool is the ability to create images that aren't easily legible at first glance.
