Melissa Meyer

MELISSA MEYER'S work presents viewers with an extraordinary opportunity to see the energy of movement preserved on canvas. Her affinity for vibrant color often feels celebratory, occasionally foreboding, and always delivered with brushstrokes that communicate the tension of a coiled spring. From her text-like, yet indecipherable, compositions come mysterious messages as stories built of color and form that supplant the need for recognizable symbols. 
 
Melissa Meyer's work is included in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, all in New York, as well as the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. and The Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, Ohio. Meyer is also responsible for the Shiodome City Center Murals in Tokyo, Japan. Her work is also included in the collection of the Mills College Art Museum in Oakland, California, The Rose Art Museum in Waltham, Massachusetts, and others.
