Melissa Shaak
"Reds and Blues 1", abstract, orange, acrylic painting

2019

About the Item

Melissa Shaak’s “Reds and Blues 1” is a 30 x 22 inch abstract acrylic painting on top-quality Stonehenge paper. Red-accented, patterned islands appear to float in a restful, spacious sea of blue. The painting evokes a dreamlike aerial view with shapes of harbors, inlets and causeways creating intriguing juxtapositions. It is sold unframed. 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.
