Mel Davis
Stil Life (With Red Tablecloth 2) - colorful, abstract, oil on canvas on panel

2021

About the Item

In this charming abstract composition by Montreal born Mel Davis, a riot of bright colours in orange, yellow, deep blue, and mauve pop against the background of a red tablecloth. Davis was influenced by the colourful and fluid work of French masters like Matisse, but her adventurous use of colour, form and pattern is uniquely her own. “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 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.

Abstract Flowers Oil Painting Study for Amaryllis
By Nobu Fukui
Located in Surfside, FL
This piece is done in a sort of sgraffito technique with the flowers sort of etched in the paint. Born in Tokyo, Japan, Nobu Fukui Came to New York where he became a US citizen. From 1964 - 65, he studied at the Art Students League in New York City. His work has been widely exhibited in New York and California. He had his first one-man show in this country in 1965 at the Daniels Gallery in New York. That same year his works were included in the Japanese Artists in Europe and America Exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. This was followed by numerous exhibits and one-man shows in various cities in the United States and Japan - New York, Indianapolis, Ann Arbor, Pittsburgh and Yokohama, for example. Fukui's works are formal, dynamic and abstract. Form functions minimally as a symmetrical structure so as to focus on his real interest in color interaction. Fukui's work is represented in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Larry Aldrich Museum, Conn; Dartmouth College, NH; New York State University, Potsdam NY; Roosevelt College, Chicago IL; Westinghouse Corp, The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, Japan; The New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, CT; The Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, IN and The Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, East Lansing, MI, Indianapolis Museum of Art; National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo and National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, Japan; amongst others. and other private collections.
