About the Item
"Poppy red pill" is one of the 30 small tondo paintings on wood comprising the Dopamine mosaic. This 30-piece ensemble was created between January and April 2024 by the artist using a mix of techniques including airbrush, stencilling and pyrography.
This multilayered piece fuses the tactile rawness of pyrography, vivid airbrushed colors and the crispness of hard-edge grid geometry, capturing a dichotomy inherent to the human experience. The scorched base—evocative of body scan modalities—portrays our internal struggles. The vivid underpainting is overlaid with a monochrome, neutral and orderly moiré pattern appears to wrap around the painting, appeasing the underlying turmoil. A central band bisects the work mimicking pill design alluding to the duality of sentient life and controlled design. Informed by neuroscientific insights, this series 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 and the various strategies we employ to navigate life's challenges.
Through her innovative approach to contemporary painting, Melisa Taylor Metzger demonstrates a unique ability to distill contemporary chaos into contemplation. The artist has developed a distinctive visual lexicon that appeals universally by transcending geographical and cultural divides. This is gaining her international attention and slowly establishing Melisa Taylor Metzger as an exceptional emerging female painter in the art world.

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.
