Artist

Malcolm McKee

Malcolm McKee is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Malcolm McKee made bold, spare posters in the 1980s that carried sharp messages with minimal text. His 1987 Poster uses bright red and black to shout a single urgent phrase without extra decoration. The design feels urgent, like a flyer meant to stop you mid-stride.

You can see this same urgency in the way the words sit center stage, leaving no room for anything but the idea. Next, peek at the same year’s Poster to feel how the style tightens the focus.
