Bob Melzmuf

Born in Connecticut, Works in Sunset Park, Brooklyn

Robert Melzmuf is a painter based in the United States whose works have been exhibited nationally and in France. Identifying as a painterly color field abstract artist, he strives for beauty and elegance in his artistic practice. Melzmuf is uninterested in strategies, chance, or theories, rather, when he creates, he commits to looking and making decisions based on what he sees.

My paintings are a painterly colorfield abstraction with a sensibility that is quiet and calm. So painterly, of the hand, but depicting a volume of space, which seems counter intuitive but I also see this in the paintings of Colorfield [or Lyrical Abstraction] painters particularly Olitzky, Dzubas, Poons, Louis, Rothko and Diebenkorn; a similar feel for abstract compositions of space with a painterly sensibility.
