About the Item
Part of the Mangata series, "chartreuse yellow" is a minimalist, intimate-scale painting on wood, created by hand using a mix of techniques. This multilayered piece fuses the tactile rawness of pyrography with the crispness of grid geometry, capturing a dichotomy inherent in the human experience. The scorched base—evocative of body scan modalities—portrays our internal struggles. This underpainting is overlaid with a monochromatic, vibrant, and orderly moiré pattern that moderates the underlying turmoil. A central bronze metallic line bisects the work, symbolizing the duality of sentient life and controlled design. Informed by neuroscientific insights, this abstract piece serves as an aesthetic and contemplative commentary on the human condition, prompting viewers to consider the interplay between our spontaneous inner states and the personas we meticulously construct to navigate life's complexities.
In her contemporary practice, Melisa Taylor Metzger captivates audiences with the sublime interplay between blur and precision, creating a duality from contrasting art forms. Her studio becomes a ground for the laborious orchestration of handcraft and tool usage, leading to "systèmes faillibles" — structures at the mercy of a final, transformative act. Melisa's abstractions, echoing the data-saturated screens that dominate our daily lives, mirror our struggle against an overload of stimuli. The dynamic tension between biomorphic spectral motifs seeking to emerge out of an exacting mechanical lattice invites the viewer to seek stillness amidst the informational flood, aspiring for meditative repose and rejuvenation.
The artist's work has been acquired in corporate and private international collections. Through her innovative paintings, Melisa Taylor Metzger shows a unique ability to distill contemporary chaos into contemplation, transcending geographical and cultural divides, establishing her distinctive visual lexicon across the globe.

Melisa Taylor Metzger
In Melisa Taylor’s work, the natural world acts as blueprint while ideas are sourced from historical art and contemporary culture. She pursued studies in Marine Biology before training in classical art of the Old Masters. She grew fascinated by the works of Flemish painters Vermeer and Rembrandt whose symbolic use of light influences her practice up to this day. Melisa explores the notion of the sublime through blur and precision. She develops an aesthetic of duality by hybridizing divergent approaches to art. Her studio practice is labor-intensive; various instruments and electric tools are used out-of-context to inject unpredictability in the painting gesture. She has assimilated in her practice an eclectic multilayering process combining pyrography, sanding and detailed stencil compositions on wood. Wabi-sabi -embracing chance- is a central idea in her work, equally so is meticulous control. This results in a subterranean tension that jeopardizes the ethereal appearance of her pieces; arbitrariness and mechanical execution fuse to create what she calls "systèmes faillibles" where spectral motifs seek to emerge out of obscuring lattices. Her work has been exhibited internationally and acquired in private and corporate collections across North America and abroad.
