Luigi Malice (born 1937, Naples, Italy) is an Italian abstract artist.
[4] He began as an expressionist and figurative painter in the late 1950s, his then style demonstrated by his painting "Still life with figure" for which he received the Michetti Prize, and "Ricordo di Spagna" ("Memory of Spain") which Malice exhibited for the Posillipo Prize.
After 1968, he concentrated on sculpture, and works consisting of waterproof cloth ("tela ciriè") on twisted plywood, imitating shaped canvases, these related to the work of his contemporaries Enrico Castellani, Agostino Bonalumi, and Pino Pascali, but also to wooden silhouettes of men of Mario Ceroli, and in the early 1970s constructed works with ready-made Plexiglas panels.
[6] Since 2001, his work "Metamorphosis 1979" has been held in the Museo delle generazioni italiane, Pieve di Cento.
