MH 32 Painting by Melissa Herrington

Painting: Acrylic, Oil, Spray Paint, Charcoal, Graphite on Canvas.

Herrington's new abstract series "Morpheme and Half Moon Days" explores the ideas of expansiveness and continuity reduced to its purest essence. Each work functions as both an individual entity and as a part of a larger theme. Herrington explores gestural marks and subtle forms through this abstraction. Layers are fundamental to her imagery and process; she employs underpainting, graphite lines, and subtractive techniques to infuse a work with multiple surfaces. At the heart of her artistic practice is an unmistakable relationship between distilled color and form.
