ROBERT MELLOR

Back to Artwork Images

Robert Mellor’s paintings can be viewed as new propositions for visual enactment by the viewer, each work providing cues for engaging with the composition, layer by layer, edge by edge, line by line, color by color. While it can be said that any work of art comes alive as art by a viewer’s active engagement, Mellor foregrounds this relationship by composing works of arresting beauty that compel viewers to re-enact the process of composition with the artist. These original paintings are a set of enticements and seductions for viewers that make a bold, affirmative statement for new directions in painting today.
