Stone Malone Gallery was a contemporary art gallery in Los Angeles from 2013 to 2016. It is credited as being the "the gallery that sparked the original Melrose Avenue art scene."
History
Malone was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[1][better source needed] He attended Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids and Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, California.[1] He opened his eponymous gallery in the Melrose District in West Hollywood on March 30, 2013 to showcase his own surrealist art on the 20th anniversary of his first artistic creation.[2][better source needed][3]{{[better source needed] The opening exhibit, One + 2, was described as a "mixed-media collection of oil paintings, ink-and-pencil drawings, and photographs" with "many of the works using a unique 360-technique – which results in curious fact that each piece could be rotated multiple times and appreciated from many angles."[1][better source needed]
Exhibitions
By 2014 the "edgy little gallery"[4] was exhibiting the work of emerging and established street artists. Throughout its influential run, Malone showcased works by Shepard Fairey, L'Amour Supreme, Morley, Moncho 1929, Karen Bystedt, WhIsBe, WRDSMTH, Matt Gondek, Plastic Jesus, Sabo, Ryan McIntosh,[5][better source needed] Gianni Arone,[6] Harley Jones,[7] and many other respected street artists.[8][better source needed]
In July 2016 KCAL News called it one of the "Top Art Galleries In Hollywood" and reported: "Fine art, street art, pop art, and pop-exhibitions pack this diminutive gallery in the heart of Melrose Avenue's shopping district. Fabulously funky crowds sometimes spill into the street for openings, which include works by artists as diverse as tattoo artist Sean from Texas, Bleep, Reginald Pean, and artist, musician, and owner Stone Malone."[9]
Closure
The gallery announced that it was closing permanently in September 2016 after hosting 55 exhibitions.[10] It continues to maintain a presence on social media.
