    Philip Maltman was born in Ayrshire, Scotland in 1950, moving to Swinging London in the sixties where he attended Hornsey College of Art and finished his studies at Ravensbourne College of Art. 
    Philip Maltman's aim is to dictate the contents of a painting through manually working the paint, rarely allowing the paint to work too much by itself through technical experiment or chemical treatment, which can produce startling yet ultimately vacuous results. Accidents may see paint frequently “doing its own thing” and this is considered and modified where necessary. The painting is then complemented by drawing and handwritten text.
  • 'Maltman dances with his palette, sinuously moving the paint with an energy and grace, ensuring his paintings vibrate with constant movement. Yet his expert use of composition and beautiful palette, balance this velocity with a harmonic beauty. Although the initial marks are set down in an automatic flurry, this is tempered with a period of quiet addition and subtraction, where the oil paint is scratched back into, words are added, and washes of paint are layered. This creates a marvellous push and pull of stimulation and quiet contemplation of the painting’s surface.'
