Matthew Feyld – suggested narrative










These works by Canadian artist Matthew Feyld are visual clues to a story that is implied, but not fully revealed. In a format which is intimate and stylized, Feyld renders figures that express emotions with the simplest gestures. Birds, bears, and humans interact, at times wearing masks, often in ways not grounded in the real world.

These works are from 2007/8 and show Feyld’s interest in the narrative, yet much of his current art presents the figure in a nearly abstract form. To see examples, click below.

Allyson Mellberg – papercuts









Allyson Mellberg is known for her watercolors. This medium enhances her rendering, giving form to gentle figures with washes of color.

When making her papercut works, Mellberg takes another approach. In these efforts, wash and color are gone. Simple sheets of paper are cut to shape, defining figures that suggest their stories with nuanced gestures.

Unlike most artists who rely on a heightened contrast between figure/ground when making papercuts, Melberg uses non-opague paper giving an unusual softness to the images.
