About the Item
Melissa Shaak’s “Door to the Arch” is a 30 x 22 x 2 inch acrylic painting on paper, mounted on cradled board. The bold, sweeping teal outline keeps the eye moving around the central grey shapes of the painting. Rising high in the background is a graceful archway, and in the foreground a swath of red evokes a doorway to mysteries inside. Both architectural features emerge from the paint layer underneath. The overall image of transcendence holds the viewer close, and soars.
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.
