About the Item

Melissa Sims’ work utilizes motifs from collage and pop art, in that several different images are combined into one cohesive but surreal landscape. Sims composes paint-by-number style landscapes punctuated by hyper-realistic neon signs. Through remixing familiar or nostalgic imagery, Sims produces unexpected narratives and humorous contradictions. She meticulously paints these surreal scenes onto wood panels which are then preserved beneath a thick, shiny resin. She paints using oil and acrylic, creating multiple layers that add depth to these effervescent scenes. Sims holds a BFA in Photography and a BA in Art History from The University of Georgia and continued to hone her technique during her 17 years in Los Angeles. She currently lives and works from her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.
