Artist Statement
In a 2018 review of Malska’s solo exhibition at the Russo Lee Gallery in Portland, OR, Art Stephanie Snyder, director and curator of the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery at Reed College has written, “…Malaska’s pieces exorcise and overcome the clichéd representations of the feminine form seen throughout art history.” As well as “While old magic dwells in these phenomenal paintings, Malaska summons it into the present, as if to prepare for what’s next.”
Stephanie Snyder will be contributing an essay on Malaska’s work in a forthcoming catalog to commemorate the artist’s exhibition “Sacrifice”.
