About the Item

Montreal born Mel Davis creates beautiful abstract compositions using traditional themes. In this piece, a harmonious use of colour—bright white, burgundy, yellow and green appear in a tangle of fluid brush strokes on the right side. The same imagery on the left side is covered by a translucent wash of deep blue. “My paintings investigate iconic themes in art such as landscape, the portrait, the interior. I am interested in how we as makers and viewers can find endless modes of description and emotional connection in these classical representations.” Mel Davis She graduated from Concordia University with a BFA in 1998. A short study trip at the Slade School of Art in London was followed by a move to California where she acquired her MFA at the San Francisco Institute of Art. Davis still lives in the Bay area. Her work has been shown in both solo and group shows in Canada and the U.S.
