About the Item

Perfect for a bright living space, this painting is quintessentially contemporary! Merging tropes from cartoons and popular culture with the gritty, vintage colors of his hometown in Puerto Rico, Melendez constructs stories that are deeply personal. Leaving notes in charcoal for viewers to find on the canvas is just one part of this treasure hunt - one which is sure to bring joy and vivacity to your home! About Sam Meléndez: Sam Meléndez combines his love for all things vintage and bright colors from his home, Puerto Rico, in his work. Evidence of his process is an integral component of his paintings, creating an authentic personal narrative alongside the subject he depicts. For this reason, the grit that charcoal marks leave behind and the notes he makes while sketching the pieces are important to the final compositions. "I love the combination of the raw, black and white of the charcoal and bare canvas contrasted with the super bright colors I work with."
