About the Item
The Still Life paintings created by Mel Davis are a masterful melange of bright colors and expressive, dynamic forms. The Montreal-born artist’s contemporary work is inspired by nature and the stylings of the French Masters such as Matisse. In this brilliant composition organic shapes in complementary hues of orange, pink, sky blue, teal, gray, and white pop against the dark grainy brown of the dresser. Black and gray markings add lyrical detail.
“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
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.

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.
