Opening during Palm Springs Modernism Week 2023, this collection of 16 finely executed oil paintings dating from 1951-1985 were recently discovered after decades of negligent storage in a desert-area garage; from exhibiting at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Felix Landau Gallery in Los Angeles to obscurity, this exhibition is a must-see.
Alexander Meller was a Surrealist painter, most often compared to Roberto Matta, but similarities to Wilfredo Lam can be seen in his work as well. His unusual futuristic style with elements of Cubism, combine to create a World that is at times wondrous and disconcerting. Many of his paintings deal with themes of fertility and sensuality, but the selection we have chosen for this initial exhibition represent a less contentious theme.
