Keith Mallett has been creating paintings for the fine art print market for over 20 years. A prolific artist, his subject matter ranges from still life to abstract. In recent years he has devoted his talents to themes that portray the love and strength that exists within the African American family.
Born in Pennsylvania in 1948, Mallett studied painting at the Arts Students League and Hunter College in New York City, and at the Los Angeles Valley College in Los Angeles. His work has been exhibited in many countries and can be found in corporate and private collections. His work has also been featured on a number of television shows and feature films. They include Woody Allen’s “Celebrity”, the Showtime series “Soul Food”, and TNT’s “Second String”. His work has also graced the covers of books by the writers Maya Angelou, Terry McMillan, and others. He was honored with a commission tp paint the official limited edition print to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s breakthrough into baseball’s major league.
About his life’s work, Mallett says, “It is my desire, through my artwork to depict the positive aspects of the African American experience. If I can show but one child the strength and beauty of her past or the bright hope of the future, then I feel I have accomplished my goal.”
