Melanie Delgado (b.1977)
‘Melanie Delgado is the definition of an artist’s artist. Her works are propulsive, risk-taking and extremely personal. She is unafraid to leave her heart on the canvas and her entrails on the floor, so to speak. She uses thick gobs of paint, wild juxtapositions of color, sometimes frenzied line work and obliterative shapes to express viscerally what she wants to say in paint.’
