Melissa Meyer's Paintings Explore Time and Process at Lennon, Weinberg Gallery

Melissa Meyer's exhibition at Lennon, Weinberg gallery in New York City runs through May 7, 2016, showcasing her distinctive approach to painting. Her work integrates drawing and painting as equal elements, with linear forms that can transform from arabesques into thickened shapes. Meyer's compositions prioritize spontaneity over rigid structure, allowing her hand to guide the process while maintaining control through experience. She treats painting as a time-based medium, revealing its evolution by layering moments and relationships that unfold both forward and backward for viewers. The exhibition includes pieces like "Entangled" (2016), a 24 x 72 inch oil on canvas diptych. Meyer's method involves drawing over or partially obscuring areas of color, creating a dynamic interplay that invites discovery even within defined horizons. The gallery is located at 514 West 25th Street, between 10th and 11th avenues in New York City. David Rhodes reviewed the show in 2014, noting how Meyer's technique makes a virtue of painting's temporal nature.
