Melanie Daniel
ABOUT
Originally from Canada, Melanie Daniel (b. 1972, Victoria, British Columbia) immigrated to Israel and is currently working in the US. Facing possible apocalypse, the humans in her rich narrative world forge a “Mad Max” D.I.Y. method, trying to save or recreate a nature threatened with extinction. They have adopted various methods to adapt and survive in an inhospitable world –– sometimes with ambiguous results, at other times humorously hopeless. Daniel’s psychedelic, unnatural palette, dense areas of vibrating pattern, and skewed perspectives underscore the uneasy relationship between the subjects and their environment. Cautionary yet hopeful, her big, brash, and strangely beautiful canvases show the resilience of nature, as plants and flowers intermingle with graffitied ruins and threaten to overrun the canvas.
