Melanie Daniel: Piecemaker
May 21 - June 27, 2015
Public opening: May 21, 7-9pm
Shulamit Gallery, Los Angeles is pleased to present Piecemaker, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Canadian-born artist Melanie Daniel. Drawing from her experiences living in Israel for the past twenty years - seven of which she has spent in the mixed Arab-Jewish city of Jaffa - Piecemaker is a striking body of work that reflects Daniel's negotiation of her own hybrid identity and moments of cultural dislocation. This selection of paintings presents dichotomous motifs, sublime color palettes, abstracted landscapes and dreamlike settings that confound concrete storylines. Unique formal and compositional elements unite to create a sense of unease that is rooted in the artist's personal experiences living in her adopted home.
