The Paris-based artist gravitates toward mystery and magic, rendering tiny characters amid vast landscapes of rolling hills and pastel skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many works shown here are commissions for a children\u2019s film festival and a book of stories from the Middle Ages, and all appear as if from a dream. Mallard envisions a hot air balloon with an entire ecosystem tucked in its basket and flying rigs with plants and peacocks. \u201cI liked mixing in this floating vessel, real people and other hybrids, like messengers from an imaginary world who guide us towards fiction and dreams,\u201d he shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most recently, Mallard has turned his focus to night and the strange, bewitching nature of dusk. \u201cIt\u2019s one of my favorite subjects because it\u2019s a good way to tell, through landscapes and nocturnal atmospheres, the feelings that go through me and that I can\u2019t express in any other way,\u201d he says. This fascination emerges in a dual exhibition with\u00a0Lili Wood, whose bright, daytime paintings counter Mallard\u2019s moody evenings. Titled\u00a0<em>Wandering<\/em>, that show is on view through February 24 at\u00a0Burronzu Gallery\u00a0in Li\u00e8ge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep up with Mallard\u2019s latest illustrations\u2014he\u2019s currently working on a series for storybook and a collection based on Midsummer\u2014on\u00a0Instagram.
