About the Item
"Cascadia 5" explores the assimilation of aerosol painting, pyrography and sanding techniques on wood. The artist engages her work with notions of repetition, mark-making and blur derived from the pictorial works of artists Jack Whitten, Sterling Ruby and Gerhard Richter. This vividly-colored painting solicits our visual perception by suggesting a discoverable lattice; vibrant motifs seem to emerge out of an optically intricate all-over grid.
This piece is lightly varnished with clean natural wood edges and comes ready to hang, horizontal or vertical.

About artist:
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 to her visual language an eclectic multilayering process combining pyrography, sanding and detailed stencil compositions on wood. 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, Europe and Asia.

Introducing "The Quest Within: A Journey of Colors and Decisions" by EVera, an exciting new series of abstract, modern, and contemporary artworks. EVera's iconic style comes to life through vibrant colors, graffiti-inspired backgrounds, and his signature white lines. The series features a juxtaposition of black and white paintings that symbolize the choices we make in life—some good, some bad—working together like puzzle pieces to fulfill our personal quests. Each artwork in "The Quest Within" is a visual representation of the challenges and opportunities we encounter on our journey. EVera skillfully uses a dynamic interplay of colors to evoke emotions and convey different aspects of the human experience. The graffiti-inspired backgrounds add an urban edge, hinting at the chaotic yet interconnected nature of life's decisions. The white lines, a distinctive feature of EVera's style, serve as both guides and barriers within the compositions. They represent the paths we choose and the obstacles we face, encouraging viewers to contemplate the consequences of their actions. As the viewer explores the collection, they become part of a larger puzzle, realizing that the choices they make are crucial in shaping their ultimate destination. "The Quest Within" challenges us to reflect on our own decision-making process and the impact it has on our lives. EVera's artistic vision reminds us that life is an ongoing quest, where we must navigate through the complexities of our choices to discover the best path for ourselves. With each painting, EVera encourages us to embrace the puzzle of life...
