In new paintings, sculptures, as well as large-scale installation, Melee continues his investigation of the psychology of the everyday. These formal and sociological works evoke both the history of craft and painting in materiality and execution.Īndrew Kreps Gallery is pleased to announce Semi-Quasi-Bower Recreational, an exhibition of new works by Robert Melee. Exhibited alongside are new, nocturnal skyscapes, pulsating compositions achieved by painting thousands of enamel dots on 4’ x 5’ sheets of black painted aluminum, as well as two new works from Melee’s Bottlecap series, produced by nailing caps from beer bottles into plywood, coated in plaster, and embellished with 23 karat gold, aluminum leaf, and enamel. The abstracted figures, imposing in scale and durable in material, are vivid, nude reimaginings of the classic scarecrow. In “Country,” Melee returns to a series produced in 2007 of monumental bronze sculptures. The installation forms a psychological playground in which one can experience a new analysis of the everyday, one in which the viewer is surrounded by that which is both uncannily familiar and disarmingly strange. Ranging from 4’ to 14’ feet high, these moving boxes-normally relegated to a life of back and forth-further the conversation between painting and sculpture. In “Town,” Melee creates a massive installation of cardboard boxes, painted in hi-gloss enamel and stacked in various compositions suggestive of cityscapes. Creating sensuous installations from everyday materials, Melee’s obsession with the accumulation of cast-off and familiar items is seen in the relationship between the indoor and outdoor spaces of the exhibition-embracing colloquial opposites that allow for two bodies of work to develop in both dialogue and contrast. Thus is born Robert Melee’s Town and Country, an installation created during a three-month residency at MOCA Tucson which straddles the line between highbrow and lowbrow.
