Description

Melissa Gordon?s practice is centred upon an ongoing investigation into the politics of abstraction and the intimacies within artistic processes. In her work as a painter, printmaker and editor Gordon often draws on source materials she considers ?by-products? of history?from the modernist grid structure to the traces of painterly residue found in her artist studio?magnifying pictorial elements, emphasising patterns, and distorting information to uncover hidden structures. In doing so, Gordon?s works make reference to both the gestural traditions of abstract expressionism and the mechanical procedures of reproducibility distinctive to modernism.00Exhibition: Kunstverein Lübeck, Germany (08.05. - 26.06.2016) / De Vleeshal, Middelburg, The Netherlands (10.04. - 19.06.2016).
