About the Item
In Melisa’s optical and pulsating compositions, the natural world acts as blue-print while she explores the notion of the sublime through blur and precision. The artist develops an aesthetic of duality by hybridizing divergent approaches to art. Her studio practice is labor-intensive; various instruments and electric tools are used out-of-context to inject unpredictability in the painting gesture. Melisa has assimilated to her visual language an eclectic multilayering process combining hand-made stencilling, airbrushing, pyrography and staining on wood. Mechanical-like execution and arbitrariness converge to create what she calls "systèmes faillibles" whereby painstakingly applied layers are potentially defaced by one single final intervention. A resulting subterranean tension is generated that jeopardizes the ethereal aspect of her imagery populated by spectral motifs that simultaneously emerge and recede through an obscuring lattice. Melisa Taylor's vibrant geometric abstractions evoke human-scaled simulacra of screens that attempt to capture the vertiginous amount of incoming data and distractions contemporary humans experience on a daily basis in this era of “hyper-connectivity”, all the while attempting to temper the “noise” to induce a contemplative experience.

About artist:
In Melisa Taylor’s work, the natural world acts as blueprint while ideas are sourced from historical art and contemporary culture. She pursued studies in Marine Biology before training in classical art of the Old Masters. She grew fascinated by the works of Flemish painters Vermeer and Rembrandt whose symbolic use of light influences her practice up to this day. Melisa explores the notion of the sublime through blur and precision. She develops an aesthetic of duality by hybridizing divergent approaches to art. Her studio practice is labor-intensive; various instruments and electric tools are used out-of-context to inject unpredictability in the painting gesture. She has assimilated to her visual language an eclectic multilayering process combining pyrography, sanding and detailed stencil compositions on wood. Embracing chance is a central idea in her work, equally so is meticulous control. This results in a subterranean tension that jeopardizes the ethereal appearance of her pieces; arbitrariness and mechanical execution fuse to create what she calls "systèmes faillibles" where spectral motifs seek to emerge out of obscuring lattices. Her work has been exhibited internationally and acquired in private and corporate collections across North America, Europe and Asia.

Introducing "The Quest Within: A Journey of Colors and Decisions" by EVera, an exciting new series of abstract, modern, and contemporary artworks. EVera's iconic style comes to life through vibrant colors, graffiti-inspired backgrounds, and his signature white lines. The series features a juxtaposition of black and white paintings that symbolize the choices we make in life—some good, some bad—working together like puzzle pieces to fulfill our personal quests. Each artwork in "The Quest Within" is a visual representation of the challenges and opportunities we encounter on our journey. EVera skillfully uses a dynamic interplay of colors to evoke emotions and convey different aspects of the human experience. The graffiti-inspired backgrounds add an urban edge, hinting at the chaotic yet interconnected nature of life's decisions. The white lines, a distinctive feature of EVera's style, serve as both guides and barriers within the compositions. They represent the paths we choose and the obstacles we face, encouraging viewers to contemplate the consequences of their actions. As the viewer explores the collection, they become part of a larger puzzle, realizing that the choices they make are crucial in shaping their ultimate destination. "The Quest Within" challenges us to reflect on our own decision-making process and the impact it has on our lives. EVera's artistic vision reminds us that life is an ongoing quest, where we must navigate through the complexities of our choices to discover the best path for ourselves. With each painting, EVera encourages us to embrace the puzzle of life...
