"Marcelo Malni makes obsessive art. Art of details. Minimal and entangled. Where the excess of organization confounds, astonishes and unveils, indeed, an irresistible chaos. However, there is also the relief of the loose and winding curves. Influence of a look used to Rio de Janeiro. Not for nothing integrated the exhibit of the rereading for the posters of the movie Rio Eu Te Amo, at the Complex Esquina 111, in 2014. Breed from the comics of Angeli, Glauco and Laerte, the cartoons could not be left out of his work. A comic trace and grotesque and exaggerated characters are present, as much in his more abstract works, as in conventional illustrations. It is quite typical of the artist to draw varied characters, huddled. An example of this kind of creativity is at one of the bathrooms of the Caverna Bar, in Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro. In 2012, in a partnership with the artist Antonio S. Schreiber, painted the wall of the IED, in Urca. In 2013, also in a partnership with Antonio, painted the walls of the Santa Terê Hostel, in Gloria. Marcelo created the hallmark and visual identity of the hostel. The artist took part, in 2014, in an exhibit in Hamburg, Germany, promoted by the XH Collective, where he showed five paintings, together with other artists from different places around the world. In 2015, participated in the FALeblon art event, painting the Bar da Praia of the Marina Hotel. Painting digital, with Posca or acrylic. On paper, walls or wood. With simple traces, fun or labrynthine. Marcelo lavishes an easy originality and has the versatility as his works greatest ally."
