About the Item
What's he after?! The trope of the detective is omnipresent - and perfect fodder for painter Sam Melendez. Pulling images and characters from cartoons and popular culture and inserting them into narratives tinged with the absurd, Melendez is restless in his humor. The bright, gritty colors inspired by hometown in Puerto Rico are perfect for an open living space, or a bright walkway - a wonderfully energetic addition 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."
