MELISSA WALLEN’S PORTAL PAINTINGS
Laundromat Art Space presented Worlds Behind You, the debut solo exhibition by Miami-based artist Melissa Wallen. Curated by Ray-Anthony Eddie, the presentation comprises several new and recent works from the artist’s ongoing series of dream-like “portal” paintings.

For her debut solo gallery exhibition, Wallen featured a series of paintings that explore the surreal and transformational power of color through shifting landscapes and biomorphic form. Worlds Behind You highlights the significance of abstraction within the artist’s practice, blurring the edges of where the body ends and consciousness takes shape.
