About the Item
Artist Comments
I have been engaging my work with ideas derived from the pictorial works of artists Frank Stella, Sterling Ruby and Gerhard Richter. A synthesis of these interests is materializing in this latest body of work. In City and in Forest ll explores the assimilation of aerosol painting, pyrography and sanding techniques on wood. This ethereal series solicits our visual perception by suggesting a discoverable lattice of motifs emerging out of defacement and obscuration. This piece is lightly varnished with clean natural wood edges and comes ready to hang, horizontal or vertical.
About the Artist
The natural world is the blueprint for Melisa’s work, while allusions to past and contemporary culture inform its development. She approaches her artwork by developing her own hybridization of artistic practices. Melisa relies on commercial tools such as blow torches and electrical sanders to create her work, in addition to other labor-intensive methods. By exploring the assimilation of aerosol painting, pyrography, and sanding on wood, Melisa produces unique abstract art that is simultaneously geometric and organic.

"Acrobats and circus performers have always fascinated me with their lively gestures and colorful outfits," says artist Patrick O'Boyle. With an exciting application of bright and cheery colors, Patrick envokes the showmanship and energy of a live juggling act.
About the Artist
Patrick O'Boyle primarily paints in a studio, rarely using reference material other than his own thoughts and dreams. He always paints in a series of five - at the end of the fifth painting he revisits and reworks all of them until he feels they're complete. Using extra-long handles on his brushes, Patrick paints at a distance from the canvas so he can see the works evolve as a whole from the one color he starts with to the vibrant array at the end.
