About the Item
This large-scale painting, executed on an 8 x 4 ft plywood panel, merges the unpredictable, organic marks of pyrographywith with the ethereal softness of airbrushed paint. A meticulously applied tape grid introduces structure, fragmenting the surface into layered planes of movement and color. Wisps of magenta, plum, and cobalt blue drift through a hazy atmosphere, contrasted by luminous off-white bursts that create the illusion of internal light. The wood grain subtly shows through in places, grounding the piece in its materiality while echoing natural rhythms. Linear cuts and shapes generated by burning tools disrupt the softness with assertive gestures, evoking both architectural and organic forms. The result is a richly layered, abstract landscape—vivid, immersive, and alive with rhythmic motion and glowing depth.
Using pyrography as a mark-making tool, Metzger layers spray-painted color fields, stencilled shapes, and a meticulously painted linear grid. The interplay between hard-edge geometry and soft, optical blurs creates a dynamic tension between structure and fluidity, generating both depth and movement. The linear grid functions as both a formal anchor and an illusionary device, drawing the viewer into the layered surface while challenging perceptions of space and form.
Through this piece, Metzger reimagines traditional pyrography and grid geometry into a unique, hybrid contemporary visual language, offering a sublime meditation on the balance between the natural and the constructed. This tension between chaos and order, control, spontaneity, and chance reflects Metzger’s ongoing exploration of resilience and transformation.
*This piece comes ready to hang with natural wood edges.

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.
