'When allowed to breathe'
"Ninth Avenue Quartet IV'' (oil on canvas), by Melissa Mayer, in her show "Melissa Meyer: Hitting the Right Notes,'' at Heather Guadio Fine Art, New Canaan, Conn., May 12-June 23.
The gallery says:
"Meyer's abstract paintings have a signature calligraphy and rhythmic curvilinear vernacular that are more complex than they initially seem. Like a good bottle of wine, her works open up when allowed to breathe and the more one looks, the more notes are savored. Her lengthy career stands as a testament to her authenticity, with forty-plus solo exhibitions, commissions, teaching and artist-in-residence positions here and abroad. ''
