JIM MALONE (American, 1943) Jim Malone was born in 1943 in Savannah, New York. He studied at State University of New York then attended graduate school at Texas Christian University. Malone has exhibited in solo and group shows across Texas, New York, Washington, D.C., New Mexico and Kansas.Known for his works on paper and his landscapes of the Big Bend region, James Malone is a consummate draftsman who has worked in a variety of media and techniques over a career spanning 50 years. To create his images he uses graphite, watercolor, pen and charcoal, collage, opaque acrylic paint, wax, and thread, and even burns lines into paper using a magnifying glass. He also works with composite images of photographs. Celestial and terrestrial maps figure in many of his compositions. Malone has participated in group and solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, and at other museums and galleries throughout Texas. Most recently, his work was featured at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center in the solo exhibition "Cutting for Sign," in the group exhibition of Big Bend landscapes "Despoblado Update," curated by Daniel Blagg, and in "James Malone: New Ideas." Malone works intuitively in his drawings, and then looks back to find a thread of meaning, a link between imagery or ways of depicting that reveals a pattern. In this method, the work flows out of the artist instead of being forced into an analytical frame of reference. Selected Biographical and Career Highlights1943, Born Savannah, New York 1968, BA, State University of New York, Oswego1968-70, Graduate study, Texas Christian University Selected Solo Exhibitions· 2018 Gold Rush, Artspace111, Fort Worth, TX· 2016 Scene/Not Scene, Artspace111, Fort Worth, TX· 2015 El Paseo, Artspace111, Fort Worth, TX· 2013 7 Card Draw, Laura Moore Gallery, McKinney, TX· 2011 Field Notes from Another Brave, Laura Moore Gallery, McKinney, TX· 2010 Drawing Under the Influence, Laura Moore Gallery, McKinney, TX· 2010 Jim Malone, Artspace111, Fort Worth, TX· 2009 James Malone: Gritty Details, Laura Moore Fine Art Studios, McKinney, TX· 2008 Lithos, Fort Worth Community Arts Center [December 12–29]· 2006 "Cutting for Sign," Fort Worth Community Arts Center, Fort Worth, TX· 2006 "Jim Malone: New Ideas," Fort Worth Community Arts Center, Fort Worth, TX· 2002 "String Theory," Four Walls Gallery, Fort Worth, TX· 2002 About Landscape, Haggerty Gallery, University of Dallas, Irving, curator: Christine Bisetto, Dallas, TX· 2001 "The Artist's Eye" Gallery Talk, Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, TX· 2001 Carlsbad Museum and Art Center, New Mexico (three-person show)· 1996 Rachel Harris Gallery, Fort Worth, TX· 1994 Artist in residence, Chinati Foundation, Marfa, TX· 1982 Jan Weiner Gallery, Topeka, KS· 1981 Jan Weiner Gallery, Topeka, KS· 1981 Mattingly-Baker Gallery, Dallas, TX· 1978 Delahunty Gallery, Dallas, TX· 1973 Austin College, Sherman, TX· 1971 Austin College, Sherman, TX Selected Group Exhibitions· 2019 The Texas Aesthetic, Foltz Fine Art, Houston, TX· 2019 Heavenly View, Artspace111, Fort Worth, TX· 2015 The Texas Aesthetic IX, William Reaves Fine Art, Houston, TX· 2014 Paper: Janet Chaffee, Jim Malone, Kate Rivers, Artspace111, Fort Worth· 2013 Like, Artspace111, Fort Worth· 2012 Sky Blue Sky, Artspace111, Fort Worth· 2011 Big Bend Journey, Artspace111, Fort Worth· 2010 2010 Hunting Art Prize exhibition, Houston· 2010 Selections 2010: Fort Worth Art Dealers Association, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2010 Best of the FWCAC Biennial 2010, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2009 Trinity Perspectives: Views of an Urban River, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2009 Paintings, Prints, and Presents, Artspace 111, Fort Worth· 2009 American Landscape: Urban/Rural, Artspace 111, Fort Worth· 2009 Preservation Is the Art of the City, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2009 Juried TAC Show, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2009 9 x 12 Works on Paper Show, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2008 9 x 12 Works on Paper Show, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2008 Preservation is the Art of the City, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2008 Geomorph, Centraltrak, Dallas· 2008 WORTHwhile, Artspace 111, Fort Worth· 2008 Biennial Show, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2008 Making Lines: Works by Jim Malone, Tarrant County College, Arlington· 2007 Preservation Is the Art of the City, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2006 First Annual Show, Texas Artists’ Coalition, curated by Dr. Frances Colpitt· 2006 25th Anniversary Show, Artspace 111, Fort Worth, Texas· 2006 Despoblado Update, curated by Daniel Blagg, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2004 First Annual Farewell Tour, with Joan Zalenski, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2004 Spring exhibition, presented by Merrill Lynch-The Benson Group, Artspace 111, Fort Worth· 2003 First Annual Curated Show, 18 artists, selected by Artist Exhibition Advisory Panel, Fort Worth Community Arts Center· 2003 Despoblado: The Uninhabited Land, Four Walls Gallery, Fort Worth· 2002 You Are Here, installation with Janet Tyson, Arlington Museum of Art· 2002 Summer Vacation, Fort Worth Public Library, Central Library, Fort Worth· 2000 Drawn, Barry Whistler Gallery, Dallas· 1998 Scratch, a drawing show, Rachel Harris Gallery, Fort Worth· 1998 Visions, Barry Whistler Gallery, Dallas· 1997 Serial Artists, Barry Whistler Gallery, Dallas· 1995 Images of Nature, Martin-Rathburn Gallery, San Antonio· 1995 Landscapes, Barry Whistler Gallery, Dallas· 1994 Images of Nature, Martin-Rathburn Gallery, San Antonio· 1993 Reunion: Young Texas Artists, Amarillo Art Center, Amarillo· 1983 National Office Institute of Business Designers, Jan Weiner Gallery, Topeka, Kansas· 1982 Mural at World Trade Center, Dallas, with Dennis Blagg· 1982 Hearts and Flowers, The Art Center, Waco· 1981 Collection ’81, Washington Project for the Arts, Washington, D.C.· 1981 The Road Show, Houston· 1981 Three large murals with Dennis Blagg on 3 sides of Brumbaugh’s furniture warehouse, North main and NE 28th St;
