Marcus Mcallister<br />
Marcus McAllister is a French-American full-time professional artist living in <strong>Paris</strong> for over two decades.<br />
Originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, he received his degree in Fine <strong>Art</strong> from Louisiana State University<br />
in 1991 and has a prolific output, incorporating mixed media sketchbooks and acrylic paintings.<br />
The artist’s practice is sketchbook-centered. For more than thirty years, he has carried a sketchbook<br />
with him wherever he goes, using it as a tool for pulling order from chaos. The sketchbook (currently number 117)<br />
organizes random information, digests experiences and memories, ideas and imaginings. The process<br />
secretes meaning. Marcus McAllister’s acrylic paintings are developments and expansions of the sketchbookgenerated<br />
ideas. His paintings present dreamlike depictions of figures, characters, animals and cities.<br />
Sometimes there are recognizable forms and places, painted from life or memory, and sometimes the depictions<br />
are more symbolic and abstract. The artist has a characteristic style that combines fine art,<br />
illustration and mysticism - a quality that transcends time and setting.<br />
“I use the individual pages as a template for paintings on canvas. My idea is not to copy the preexisting drawing,<br />
but to use it as a map for exploring formal possibilities of scale and matter. An interesting side effect comes<br />
from the presence of the current sketchbook during this exploration on canvas. As I search for painting solutions,<br />
I naturally take up my sketchbook to think through possibilities on pages that in turn give rise to other paintings.<br />
Paintings become the sketches for sketchbook pages.”<br />
