Oliver Malin
Oliver Malin is a British artist. He was raised and educated in London, where he continues to work. After completing his A-Levels, he read business and film studies at Oxford Brookes University. After a debut solo show,[1] he attended the Royal Drawing School[2] and completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in drawing. His professional practice spans drawing, painting, film-making, and live visuals. Among his most notable painting series is "We Are Disposable",[3] an ongoing series of paintings using crushed cans as a canvas, meant to document poignant "discovered" moments in a contemporary society. This project has taken him across the UK, Cuba and The USA. The first UK study is featured in full in a book on the series.[4]
Other notable projects include the series "Take Away Dreams",[5] which caught the attention of BBC London,[6] Don't Panic[7] The Evening Standard,[8] London On The Inside,[9] Culture Trip,[10] Noctis Magazine,[11] The Camden New Journal,[12] and the cover of Le Cool Magazine.[13] It was listed in the top three events in the whole of London by TimeOut[14] on December 13, 2017.
As a filmmaker, Malin's main areas of focus have been music videos and documentaries. Noteworthy projects including his direction and production of "The Flowerpot Sessions",[15] for Communion music[16] which captured a week of folk music collaborations at the Flowerpot venue in Kentish Town, London.[17]
He has made promo videos for artists such as Bella Figura,[18] Nabila Iqibal,[19] Bare Hunter Lovechilde,[20] The Joker & The Thief,[21] and The Big Pink.[22] In late 2018, he started combining some of his ideological approaches and interests in absurdist/surrealist humour into short video form, which found marked popularity on Instagram.[23]
