Ed Malcik
New Seamless Triptychs from the Street

Show Dates September 3rd – October 13th 2024

Reception, Saturday September 7th, 3:00 – 5:00 pm & Artist talk/questions 4:00
at Mockingbird Handprints Olmos Park

Ed Malcik’s Seamless Triptychs challenge how an individual image works with two adjacent images placed edge to edge to become supplementary or complimentary abstractions, yet still retaining their individual identity. The Triptychs combine the artist’s street photos into another way of seeing, playing with the differences between documentary and conceptual photography.  Please join us during the month of September to see his show and meet Ed at artist reception September 7th, 3:00-5:00 pm.

Another exhibition of Ed’s work, “Recent Street Photos, New York and Austin”, can be seen at the Mockingbird Handprints in Blue Star Arts Complex, Sept 3 – Oct 13 reception/artist talk Sept 8th 3-5 pm. Please come by and see the twenty plus other San Antonio Artist work shown.

Ed Malcik studied photojournalism at the University of Texas and then worked as a staff photographer for newspapers, including the Austin American-Statesman. He also freelanced for the wire services and publications such as Cosmopolitan, Us, and The New York Times. He served in the Peace Corps and as a Foreign Service Officer before returning to photography and working on projects in Paris and Chennai, India.

Mark H. W. Hiebert is a multi-talented artist who works across mediums and disciplines.

Mark views painting as a medium for expression of what cannot be communicated in words or music and for which the factual reality of photography proves insufficient. In all things, it is an effort at articulating something authentic that speaks to the ineffable thread binding our humane selves to the existence we experience in our shared present moment.

Olmos Mockingbird Handprints Gallery will host Melissa Grace Young for an opening reception to her exhibit of Soulful Sisters on Saturday, October 21 from 4 – 6 pm, including a lively artist talk about her work at 5:00 PM. She’ll discuss her figurative renderings of strong madonnas and how her creations follow her personal inner journey and evolution. Dialogue and questions are highly encouraged!

This exhibit includes her latest series of five ‘Sisters on a Mission’, taking inspiration from our San Antonio Missions and rich local heritage, and manifested though her focused madonna perspective.

Melissa Grace Young

Growing up in San Antonio, artistic expression began for me with scissors and crayons and paste and paints. Now I create because I must, for peace of mind, for my sanity really. And as I must, I’ve found ways to make art a big part of my life.

For the past twenty years, I’m drawn to figure and portrait sketching and painting, particularly the female form. And especially the divine female form: the madonna, with halos and hands and flaming hearts and crowns. I find myself creating madonnas of vivid colors and unbalanced facial features and body parts; so few things in life are perfect, and yet they can be so perfectly beautiful.

These days I fill journals with images of everyday wonders, and transcendent figures with extraordinary vision and strength, and I teach art journaling to help others on their creative journeys. My journal works inform my madonnas paintings and mixed media portraits of uncanny funkiness.

Melissa will also have some of her linocuts available in the show.
