The innovative paintings and sculptures of Phoenix artist Ed Mell portray the majestic panoramas of the desert Southwest and the intricate nuances of its flora and fauna through fragmented studies in the contrast of light and dark and color and hue. His modernist approach recalls Cubist principles of space while his infusion of luminous color elicits a surreal sense of other-worldliness embodied by the desert. Like the distilled Western vistas of noted artist Maynard Dixon Mell often abstracts his images of nature to intensify a scene. Mell reduces visual phenomena into stylized shapes color gradations and contrasting tones of color to capture the ephemeral moments of the environment. Rather than a photographic representation of nature Mell brings out dramatic juxtapositions to reveal what he describes as “the impact that nature has in real life.” Recently he has worked en plein air near the Capital Reef National Monument in southern Utah forgoing his traditional reliance on photographs as sketches for final paintings. The immediacy of the visual experience allows the artist to react in a more direct manner while still retaining his signature sense of space and color.
