About the Item
Melissa Shaak’s “Archipelago” is a 40 x 26 x 2 inch abstract acrylic painting, with charcoal, on top quality Arches paper mounted on cradled board. At first glance the flat taupe color dominates, but as the eye moves, the flora and fauna of the “islands” take shape. Flashes of warm, saturated color—yellow, orange, pink, red—are joined by scraggly, blue-green patches. This painting is an exploration of how the act of concealing, by means of overpainting large swaths, reveals and brings focus to the sprawl of life in the layers underneath.
Melissa Shaak's abstract acrylic paintings balance color shifts with amorphous forms that appear ponderous, whimsical or surreal. She explores how the act of concealing, by means of overpainting with large swaths of flat color, reveals and brings focus to the sprawl of life in the layers underneath. In Shaak’s most recent work, she experiments with both imagery and medium; archetypal figures find themselves in paintings, sculptural cutouts of their forms, and as an ensemble captured on video. Shaak lives and works in Somerville, MA. She is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
