Personal exhibitions:
“A student and friend of Robert Antoine Pinchon, one of the masters of the Norman School, from whom he was inspired, he manages, through the nuance of his colors, to translate the subtlety of the light of the Seine Valley.
Planting his easel at random along the Normandy routes, he captures on the canvas the fleeting atmosphere which separates the planes and makes the tones vibrate. » - André Ruellan, art critic “Fluctuating colors, a happy layout: landscapes in the impressionist lineage and in the luminism of the Rouen school by a painter who took as his motto: “See everything, feel everything: the work of the artist must be impetuously communicative.
Through his teaching (Malet trained numerous landscapers), he ensured continuity at the Rouen school. » - Gérald Schurr.
