Malcolm Victory is an artist and designer who has lived in Malvern for the past 18 years. His specialism is portraiture, owners of his work include Lord David Puttnam, Lady Thatcher, the late Sir John Geilgud and Patrick Moore OBE. Malcolm has worked as a draughtsman and designer as well as gaining several Patents for his inventions. He admires the inventive genius of Leonardo Da Vinci and Thomas Alva Edison, often having ideas that are before their time. Fittingly, this exhibition includes a portrait of Edison.

In his forties Malcolm suffered a creative block and produced very little artwork. During this time he was a director of Malvern Fringe Festival, a local councillor and also stood for Parliament. Since enrolling for a degree at University College Worcester in 1999 he has been inpired to become creative again and the exhibition includes some new ceramic work.

Malcolm has created several Community Art murals, the latest being in June 2002, utilising advertising hoardings and purpose built boards encouraging all people to take part and become artists.

His aim is to bring Art into the everyday life of Society and to break down the elitist dogmas of Modernism and the Art Market.
