MELI MCNEES

BIO

Meli McNees is creating in Los Angeles, California.

 ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My paintings come from the most honest place I know.  It is a raw, naive and childlike place. Similar to the uncensored actions of a child, the figures expose themselves without regard for the viewer’s judgment nor expectation of his/her emotional response. These characters are living in their private surreal environment, never expecting to be gazed upon or assessed by the outside world. 

THANK YOU'S

Thank you to Rachel Wilkie and Ezra Mabengeza for giving me the opportunity to be part of NOIR and thank you to Christopher Hassett and my Los Angeles tribe for their love and support.

as the body transgresses beyond our view,
our riches, material in essence,

the aftermath absorbs 
and challenges our very state of being,
before and after...
