About the Item
Melissa Shaak’s “Reds and Blues 3” is a 30 x 22 inch abstract acrylic painting on top-quality Stonehenge paper. Vibrant red dominates this painting. Bold, curving lines define shapes that evoke whimsical creatures. Sections of blue provide a compelling contrast—the painting’s windows to a world beyond. 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.
