About The Artwork

This quadriptych by the artist is a vibrant collection of two circular and two rectangular panels, skillfully crafted using airbrush, stenciling, and pyrography. Each panel flaunts a unique color palette: yellow and gold, deep blues, vibrant reds, and lush greens, creating a cohesive yet diverse visual experience. The technique of pyrography adds an organic texture, burning patterns into the wood that contrast with the crisp lines of airbrushing, exemplifying the intersection of natural and synthetic elements in modern art. The structured arrangement and rhythmic repetition across the shapes highlight themes of harmony and contrast. This series not only reflects on the influence of digital aesthetics on visual culture but also challenges the viewer's perception through its exploration of color, motion, and spatial experience. The scorched wood base, overlaid with vivid colors and geometric patterns, symbolizes the duality of human experience—our internal chaos soothed by external order. This artwork is a contemplative piece on the human condition, prompting reflections on the interplay between our innate states and the constructed exteriors we navigate life with. Through her innovative approach to contemporary painting, Melisa Taylor Metzger demonstrates a unique ability to distill contemporary chaos into contemplation. The artist has developed a distinctive visual lexicon that appeals universally by transcending geographical and cultural divides. This is gaining her international attention and slowly establishing Melisa Taylor Metzger as an exceptional emerging female painter in the art world.

Born 1977, Canada In Melisa Taylor’s work, the natural world acts as a blueprint while ideas are sourced from historical art and contemporary culture. She pursued studies in Marine Biology before training in the 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; commercial and electric tools are used to inject unpredictability into 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. Melisa's recent production has been shown internationally at art fairs in Tokyo, Seoul, Istanbul, Texas, NYC, Singapore, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Miami, Houston and Shanghai to name a few. Her work has been exhibited and acquired in private and corporate collections across North America, Europe and Asia.
