Isa Melsheimer Nr. 464, 2020
Gouache on paper
56 x 76,5 cm (unframed)
65 x 86 x 4 cm (framed)
From a new series of large-scale gouaches, this work depicts the interior of a room, indicated by a tiled geometric floor and voluminous drapes against which the silhouette of a figure can be seen. While recognizable as an interior space, the work also has an unusually abstract sensibility and, also rare for Melsheimer, includes a human presence. In her gouaches of architectural sites Isa Melsheimer constructs small autonomous worlds, seemingly detached from their real-world settings.
