Melanie Daniel: Only four degrees

Exhibition May 18 − September 8, 2019
Fear of Melanie Daniel for the relationship of mankind with the natural world feeds paintings and works that can be seen at the exhibition "Melanie Daniel: Only four degrees". In these recent large-scale paintings, works on paper and ceramics, Daniel represents the world on the verge of collapse due to our chronic, long-standing disrespect for its well-being. People who fill her rich narrative paintings are painfully aware of their difficult circumstances and use various methods to cope with their new surroundings. Daniel's bright, unnatural palette, thick sections of the vibrating pattern and distorted perspectives emphasize the difficult relationship between the subjects and their surroundings.
