Artist Reviews:
Melanie Prapopoulos
“Mo’ Explorations”
One constant in these pieces
that is a strong theme
throughout much of Melanie
Prapopoulos’s work is a dreamy
abstraction. Like dreams,
there are strong feelings and
energy that appear to lack
logical organization. But as
Prapopoulos is clearly aware,

Artist Statement for Melanie Prapopoulos

Statement:
…a magical reality where everything – clear and true, outside time and space, ‘beyond all physical and palpable reality,’ a mirror which deforms life, an instant reflected – is possible. Goya
I believe that an artist has something to say or to point out, both to the artist or the viewer – but I also feel that the artist must - once having completed a work step away and allow the work to stand for itself. By doing this – the viewer is able to step into the text of a work and explore it through the fields of their imagination thereby rendering a unique experience based on the individual interpretation of each viewer. Too often an artist influences the interpretation of a work, and I believe this limits the universality that artworks should offer the viewer. I also believe in the melding and mixing of color – with color being that which will ultimately present the viewer an experience of emotional revelation. This reality enters an emotional plane presenting the viewer an opportunity to witness an often uncomplimentary expression that manages to balance itself through the interpretation of the viewer. I also find that working in the abstract allows me greater freedom to explore depths that reality often disallows due to the very nature of reality being something tangible – whereas the abstract is open and free and yields to a myriad of interpretations often magical.
