Melisa Taylor Metzger
Peach fuzz pink (minimaliste grid round painting on wood dopamine color)

2024

About the Item

"Peach fuzz pink pill" is one of the 30 small tondo paintings on wood comprising the Dopamine mosaic. This 30-piece ensemble was created between January and April 2024 by the artist using a mix of techniques including airbrush, stencilling and pyrography. This multilayered piece fuses the tactile rawness of pyrography, vivid airbrushed colors and the crispness of hard-edge grid geometry, capturing a dichotomy inherent to the human experience. The scorched base—evocative of body scan modalities—portrays our internal struggles. The vivid underpainting is overlaid with a monochrome, neutral and orderly moiré pattern appears to wrap around the painting, appeasing the underlying turmoil. A central band bisects the work mimicking pill design alluding to the duality of sentient life and controlled design. Informed by neuroscientific insights, this series serves as an aesthetic and contemplative commentary on the human condition, prompting viewers to consider the interplay between our spontaneous inner states and the personas we meticulously construct and the various strategies we employ to navigate life's challenges. Through her innovative approach to contemporary painting, Melisa Taylor Metzger demonstrates a unique ability to distill contemporary chaos into contemplation. The artist has developed a distinctive visual lexicon that appeals universally by transcending geographical and cultural divides. This is gaining her international attention and slowly establishing Melisa Taylor Metzger as an exceptional emerging female painter in the art world.
