“ The Lightning Strikes” by Malcolm Farley

Nuance Galleries is not only a fine art gallery, but also an oasis for sports fans. We are dedicated fans of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the New York Yankees. After working with Charles Fazzino to celebrate the Super Bowl Victory with his 3-D serigraph in 2002, we decided to see if we could help commemorate the Stanley Cup victory with a collector’s piece of artwork. Our first thought was sports artist Malcolm Farley. Robert had met Malcolm at the Marlins/Yankees World Series games in Miami. Malcolm was working at the time as the official artist for the Florida Marlins. We felt that the emotions that are portrayed in his paintings, would do justice to our Stanley Cup Championship. We then met with The Tampa Bay Lightning and together with Malcolm created a commemorative limited edition giclee, “The Lightning Strikes”, that captures the moment and excitement on canvas.


Malcolm Farley
Malcolm has made a name for himself as the “sports artist”, working with The Colorado Avalanche, Denver Broncos, Florida Marlins, Calgary Flames, Major League Baseball, The US Open and the 2002 Olympics in Sydney.

He is internationally acclaimed artist Malcolm Farley for his visions of color and unique ability to capture “the moment, the action, the spirit of the event.” In his unique “action painting style”, Malcolm blends bold strokes and vibrant colors with the drama of some of the world’s most memorable moments. Malcolm pauses, ponders and shrugs. “Everywhere I look I see these fantastic, bright colors. It has been that way since I was a kid.”

Malcolm started painting at the age of eight. Particularly fascinated with the energetic drive and aura of athletes, Malcolm, an “all-everything athlete” himself, grew up painting the world’s greatest baseball, tennis, football and hockey stars. In his formative years, he traveled the world with his family, gaining cultural perspectives while “putting in time” during his junior high years at 9500 feet in Northern India and other global ports. As a scholarship athlete, he learned to combine his athletic talents and passion as a jazz saxophonist with art to obtain his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Metropolitan State College in Denver. After receiving various collegiate awards, Malcolm chose the path of commercial artist, becoming a connoisseur of many styles. It was in this period that he experimented with numerous mediums, arriving at his intoxicating palette and imagery.

Malcolm’s zest for life and ability to live in the moment is what gives him his passion to paint. “When I am 75, I will be painting every day. I might finally be able to shot my age.” Referring to his golf score, “The older I get, the better chance I have.” His most recent successes include commissions by; The Sopranos, Major League Baseball’s 30 Most Memorable Moments, the NFL & Pepsi to release 800 million Superbowl commemorative cans, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Major League Baseball’s All Star Games.
