Paul Malcolm is a Narrm based artist living on Wurundjeri Woi Wurung land who works between collage, photography and solvent transfer printing to explore our relationship to the photograph. He uses deconstructed, degraded images to challenge perceptual immediacy and investigate ideas around agency and sovereignty.
Paul has participated in several group exhibitions including graduate shows, Contemporary Art, Richard Searby Studio 2017 and Hons 18, Phoenix Gallery 2018, at Deakin University, Burwood. His work was selected for Video Contemporary, at Carriageworks Sydney for the 2018 Sydney Contemporary Art Fair. He recently exhibited at the MFA Graduate Show, RMIT City Campus 2021 and was a featured artist for Faint Indeterminacy at Bus Projects 2021/22.
He has worked with a range of cultural organisations including Burrinja Cultural Centre and AMaGA (Australian Museum and Galleries Association) supporting creative development projects like Open Studios in The Dandenong Ranges and archival efforts such as the Bushfire Recovery Project in East Gippsland.
Paul teaches Art and Design at St Josephs College, Ferntree Gully.
