The other night I went to the opening of Melanie Daniel: Captivity Tales at the Asya Geisberg Gallery in Chelsea.These paintings are fucking gorgeous! They are so vibrant and rich and dense. I was particularly drawn to Daniel's palette, the deep eggplant shades, the burnt oranges; and the subtle use of glittery blacks.
The imagery in these paintings is at times opaque and enigmatic, hints of figures, suggestions of narrative, peeking out and through a dynamic, disjointed forestry. Like I said, fucking gorgeous!
