ABOUT
Melissa Dadourian is a Brooklyn and Hudson Valley based artist working in textile media, painting and sculpture. Her textile wall collages and site-specific installations are depictions of geometric abstractions. Associations range in form, pattern, and color and use various materials including burlap, canvas old curtains, and thread. Dadourian alters the individual materials with stain, paint, cutting, and sewing; making new patterns and textures on the surfaces of these found fabrics. These fabric-paintings dominate space while revealing inconspicuous moments.
Embracing the world of textiles, Dadourian however locates herself within the cannon of abstract painting and the supports/surfaces movement. With a focus on the tension that is created in the intersection of painting, object making, and immersive installation.
Dadourian has exhibited in New York, Chicago, Connecticut, Texas, Armenia, Brazil, among others. Recently she created an 8,000 square foot mural for Manhattan Park Pool on Roosevelt Island and has been included in exhibitions at the Dorsky Museum, JEFF Marfa, ACCEA-Yerevan, Armenia, Albany Airport, University of Buffalo, and Transmitter Gallery in Brooklyn among others. She received a BFA from Pratt Institute and an MFA from Hunter College.
