About the Item
Abstract landscape of Gerard Point in Springs, East Hampton in winter browns, yellows, and maroons.
Lines, shapes, colors, and textures are as central to my work as is the process of creating them. A complex layering of these abstract elements allows my work to echo the representational through symbolic formalism.
My most recent series of paintings is inspired by nature. Observations are simplified into basic lines, shapes, colors, and textures. Distilling the essence of these natural forms reflects nature’s tendency to remove the extraneous.
Each layer considers the negative space, which I paint with liquid tape. Once sealed, a shape is revealed in the positive space of the canvas, into which I pour acrylic paint and drag across the canvas with a squeegee. Every gesture creates new lines and textures. The liquid tape removed, a monochromatic shape with a precise edge is revealed. Repeating this process, I methodically build up sheer layers of monochromatic forms. Each new layer informed by all previous layers.
The exposed drags of paint lead you across the surface and through each layer. This enables the viewer to consider and appreciate individual lines, shapes, colors, and textures. But it also enables one to consider how these abstract elements were initially created, and to appreciate how they ultimately combine to call on the representational.
This work was featured in my solo exhibition at THE GALLERY by Odo in 2022.
I am the artist, Mel Reese. I hold an MFA in Fine Arts from SVA and have attended both the Elsewhere Studios and Vermont Studio Center residencies. I have had a number of solo exhibitions, including a recent show with THE GALLERY by Odo, in addition to several group and juried exhibitions. My work has been in a number of publications including New American Paintings, Inside Artists, and Studio Visit Magazine. I live and work in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. If you are local, come say hi! I'd love to host you for a studio visit and discuss more about my past and present work.
