About the Item
Plaines & Mines, d’Ombre 2025.2 by Melisa Taylor Metzger envelops the viewer in a delicate tension between structure and atmosphere. Diaphanous layers of cool greens and blues, lilac, and earth tones drift across the surface, interacting with a finely rendered, hand-stenciled grid. Organic gestures and geometric cut-outs emerge and dissolve within this spectral field, evoking the ephemeral presence of shifting landscapes or veiled figures. The wood panel, activated by pyrography and airbrushed pigment, becomes a living surface—one that speaks through its grain and material response. As with all works in the series, Metzger’s process is rooted in “fallible systems,” where methodical precision is intentionally destabilized by a final, transformative act. The result is a dreamlike composition that reflects both the fragility of perception and the faint possibility of stillness and quiet amid digital noise.
*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.

Wabi-sabi -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.

"Elements (Lines) 3080" Abstract Layered Composition on Baltic Birch Panel
By Christie Owen
Located in New York, NY
This piece depicts an abstract composition with the use of mixed media and bold patterns producing a work that is visually textured and rich with layers, as Owen creates an intricate geometric minimalistic composition. Even though this work has a rustic and heavily textured quality, the final result is intended to appear quiet to reflect a more minimal outlook on life and art. Creating a piece that allows us to escape the technological realm, contemplate modern living and nature and then communicate how each domain influences another. Her piece aims to engage the viewer with an emotional and environmental disposition that evokes a sense of balance and tranquility in the modern world. This unique work is executed on 2.5 depth baltic birch...
