About the Item
Long fascinated with nature’s way of reclaiming what humans build, artist Melissa Furness visually depicts how organic and self-imposed deterioration confuses our sense of reality and cultural memory. Through expressions of narrative, nature, and site as ruin, works from the "corpo estraneo" ( latin for strange bodies) also address concepts of personal struggle and identity with overgrowth and refuse as major themes.
The "corpo estraneo" series are small-scale works. Each painting comes ready to hang in a metallic frame.

Melissa Furness
Melissa Furness received her MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Iowa. Her work has been most influenced by her travel experiences, which have included artist residencies in Beijing, China; Mexico City; Ireland; Gdansk, Poland; and Hungary, as well as those in the U.S. at Jentel in Wyoming, Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, California and Yaddo in upstate New York. These experiences have formed the core of her creative research, with her current strain of work in painting and installation influenced by public histories infused with personal narrative. Furness regularly exhibits her work both nationally and internationally with group exhibitions and open studios in Beijing, Mexico City, Budapest, Swansea, Florence, Lecce, Zurich, Korea, Cape Town, Palestine and Sarajevo, amongst others. Most recently her work has been featured in the Summer 2022 issue ‘We Are All Meat’ of the Netherlands-based art magazine, SeeAllThis as well as edition #132 of New American Paintings through Open Studios Press. Her work has also traveled to Germany as part of the ‘Calculations: Units of Measurement’ exhibitions in Berlin and Rudolstadt. Previously, she was selected to participate in the 2016 Kochi-Muziris Biennale in Karala, India through A.I.R. Gallery of New York and was an art ambassador in Mexico City for 10 weeks in 2015 as part of the Biennial of the Americas. The artist is an alumni of A.I.R. Gallery as well as a current member of the Artnauts Collective, both of which use the visual arts as a tool for addressing global issues. She has worked with galleries in New York, Seattle, Palm Springs and Zurich leading up to her current representation with K Contemporary Art. Furness is Professor of Art Practices and Illustration at the University of Colorado Denver.

- Night BloomsBy Andrew JensdotterLocated in Denver, COFrom his recent exhibition entitled, Dioramas from Eden, Andrew Jensdotter continues his practice of painting hundreds of layers of iconic pictures of a single subject from a Google image search and then carving through the final amalgamation to create an "original" of his own. What was once representational with a clear focal point becomes a decidedly all-over abstract composition almost archaeological in nature. This laborious and emotional process of erasure synchronizes with the show’s theme – an elaboration on the Garden of Eden and the concept of expulsion from paradise...Category

- Resin & Tails, 2021By Hunt SlonemLocated in Fort Lauderdale, FLInspired by nature and his 60 pet birds, Hunt Slonem is renowned for his distinct neo-expressionist style. He is best known for his series of bunnies, butterflies and tropical birds, as well as his large-scale sculptures and restorations of forgotten historic homes. Slonem’s works can be found in the permanent collections of 250 museums around the world, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Whitney, the Miro Foundation and the New Orleans Museum of Art. Since his first solo show at the Fischbach Gallery in 1977, Slonem’s work has been showcased internationally hundreds of times, most recently at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. In 2017 and 2018, he was featured by the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the National Gallery in Bulgaria, and in countless galleries across the United States and around the world. His flair and admiration for far-flung destinations has been a staple of his life since childhood. Slonem was born in 1951 in Kittery, Maine, and his father’s position as a Navy officer meant the family moved often during Hunt’s formative years, including extended stays in Hawaii, California and Connecticut. He would continue to seek out travel opportunities throughout his young-adult years, studying abroad in Nicaragua and Mexico; these eye-opening experiences imbued him with an appreciation for tropical landscapes that would influence his unique style. After graduating with a degree in painting and art history from Tulane University in New Orleans, Slonem spent several years in the early 1970s living in Manhattan. It wasn’t until Janet Fish offered him her studio for the summer of 1975 that Slonem was able to fully immerse himself in his work. His pieces began getting exhibited around New York, propelling his reputation and thrusting him into the city’s explosive contemporary arts scene. He received several prestigious grants, including from Montreal’s Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Cultural Counsel Foundation’s Artist Project, for which he painted an 80-foot mural of the World Trade Center in the late 1970s. He also received an introduction to the Marlborough Gallery, which would represent him for 18 years. Hunt Slonem tends to embrace the ephemeral beauty of nature, a characteristic that brings a nurturing, spiritual effect to his creations. Throughout his extensive career as a New York artist, Slonem has favored the subject of exotic birds, rabbits, and butterflies. Lately, his compositions have consisted of flat spaces with simple forms pushed to the front of the picture plane. The artist creates exotic forms with expressive and highly textural brushstrokes that are full of intense color, loosely inspired by artists of the German Expressionism movement such as Ernst Ludwig and Emil Nolde. Henry Geldzahler, a scholar of Hunt Slonem, notes that of contemporary artists, “he particularly admires the work of Malcolm Morely...Category
