Malcolm has exhibited work several times at the Royal Academy both as an artist and an architect with his recent work shown at the 2024 Venice Biennale. The late president of the RA, Sir Hugh Casson, described his landscape paintings as being of national importance.

Major work revolves around this traditional English Landscape and its changing weather; the true backbone of art history in Britain.

Born in a small mining village, in County Durham, he was encouraged  by his art teacher at the age of just 14 to paint and understand Turner and the importance of light as a pivotal role in Art History, reaching National status at the age of 22. He has since contributed to several books on architectural history, has been a newspaper columnist, an art critic and also a judge for the BBC.

He qualified as a Chartered Architect in 1979 and was director of a Private Architects Practice in Central London and more recently, Cumbria, having worked most of his professional life in Southern England and London. He was the Peoples Choice as Cumbrian Artist of the Year and now lives in Scotland, nearer to its own great landscapes,…and weather.
