ESSENCE OF WINTER Melissa Marquardt Solo Exhibition July 13 - 21 Opening Reception Saturday, July 13, 2-5 p.m. During her immersive Artist & Writers Residency at Chateau d’Orquevaux, France, in January 2024, Melissa explored the expressive possibilities of oil and cold wax medium to capture the profound beauty and tactile richness of the Champagne-Ardenne region. This collection is a representation of her deep connection with the nature, reflecting the textures and tonalities that resonate with the essence of northeastern France in the winter. Melissa delved into the interplay of earthy tones, drawing inspiration from the serene surroundings of the residency. The muted ochres, subtle greens, and warm browns became a palette which translated into the tranquility and harmony found in the French landscape and historic buildings. The cold wax medium, a transformative agent, allowed her to experiment with texture, depth, and nuance, capturing the subtle complexities present in nature. These works embody the essence of the environment that surrounded Melissa during this transformative period. Through the fusion of color and texture, her intention is to evoke a sense of connection and reflection with the profound beauty of such a moody, ethereal moment in time.
