About the Item
A traditional still life is re-imagined in this delightful painting by Mel Davis. The Montreal-born artist creates abstract artwork that re-imagines traditionally familiar themes in a fresh, contemporary way. The colour palette in bright yellow, orange and green pops against the white, dark gray and teal background. Her work is reminiscent of the fabled French 20th-century artist Matisse known for his colourful and fluid style. Davis uses colour, texture, pattern and form—in her own uniquely engaging work.
“I explore the space between what is familiar and what still can be mysterious. My work questions if we can find new and relevant areas of study in what is traditional.” Mel Davis
Mel Davis was born in Montreal and graduated from Concordia University with a BFA in 1998. A short study trip at the Slade School of Art in London was followed by a move to California where she acquired her MFA at the San Francisco Institute of Art. Her work has won numerous awards including the Conseil des Arts et Lettres du Québec, The Canada Council for the Arts and the Pollock Krasner Foundation Award. Davis’s work has been shown in both solo and group shows in Canada and the U.S.
Mel Davis
To great effect, Mel Davis uses colour, shape and patterns to convey emotion in this abstract composition. The palette is dramatic—rich tones of blues, green, orange and burgundy. “My paintings investigate iconic themes in art such as landscape, the portrait, the interior. I am interested in how we as makers and viewers can find endless modes of description and emotional connection in these classical representations.” Mel Davis She was born in Montreal and graduated from Concordia University with a BFA in 1998. A short study trip at the Slade School of Art in London was followed by a move to California where she acquired her MFA at the San Francisco Institute of Art. Davis still lives in the Bay area. Her work has been shown in both solo and group shows in Canada and the U.S.
