Autumn and Rising Cloud - Mellbreak. 600mm x 600mm acrylic on board Malcolm Dobbins The unique abstract work of the artist is easily recognisable, and has been for quite some time. Malcolm has been painting for over four decades. His medium is acrylic and his style has been developed from twentieth centuries masters such as Hans Hoffman through to Franz Kline. Although his own abstractions the feel is more akin to Abstract-Realism than it is to pure abstraction as Hoffman or Kline work are. It is not uncommon to see Malcolm’s style emulated these days, as other artists are attracted by the beauty of the texture of surface that Malcolm achieves Yet, none can match his colour sense - or the way in which he carefully balances the colour tones within a specific composition, an attention to detail which is all his own.
