Kyp Malone (1973, Moon, Pennsylvania) is a multi-media artist based in New York City. Kyp’s paintings reflect a paracosm: a detailed imaginary world thought generally to originate in childhood.
According to Kyp: I’m working towards something like a black fantastic. The conspicuous absence of people of color, or worse, their being relegated to caricature or background in the fantasy side of the western imagination troubled me. So, I started painting what I wanted to see.
Kyp is also known for his musical contributions which include scoring, production and bands like TV on the Radio, Rain Machine and Ice Balloons.
Kyp’s relationship with the gallery began with our inaugural group exhibition, Homo Angelicus, which explored the idea of human/angelic relations. Our friendship with Kyp was strengthened was strengthened as a result of this show and we are happy to have him as a good friend and peer.
