About the Item

A vibrant and architectonic abstract composition by Mel Meyer (1928–2013), a prolific American artist and member of the Marianist order, whose output of nearly 10,000 works reflects a lifelong devotion to art as both discipline and expression. Executed in acrylic on canvas, this painting exemplifies Meyer’s signature visual language—bold geometric structuring animated by expressive line and radiant color. A central red diamond form anchors the composition, set against a glowing field of warm oranges and yellows. Across this dynamic ground, raised, gestural linear elements traverse the surface, creating a network of organic pathways that simultaneously divide and unify the pictorial space. The interplay between hard-edged geometry and fluid, almost calligraphic line is characteristic of Meyer’s work, reflecting both his formal training and his intuitive, spiritually guided approach to making art. His compositions often balance order and spontaneity, structure and play—qualities that lend the work a sense of rhythm and quiet vitality. Known for his joyful use of color and deeply personal philosophy that “art is an outgrowth of what the person is,” Meyer infused even his abstract works with an unmistakable sense of optimism and energy. The surface itself is subtly dimensional, with the linear elements appearing almost sculptural—an echo of the artist’s parallel practice in metalwork and relief. This tactile quality enhances the painting’s presence, allowing light to interact across its varied textures. Signed “Mel” lower right, the work is presented in a simple frame that complements its bold palette and modernist sensibility. A compelling example of late 20th-century American abstraction, this painting embodies the joyful intensity, disciplined craftsmanship, and spiritual undercurrent that define Brother Mel Meyer’s enduring artistic legacy.

Located in Round Top, TX

Ananias's artistic career began with sculpture and drawing under the guidance of his mother as his principal mentor, following in the footsteps of his family's long tradition of opera singers, musicians, classical dancers, painters, writers, and other artists. She owns "The House of Nymphs," an exquisite oceanfront artist retreat in Peru with a very unique private collection of artists, including friends, relatives, and Omar's earliest works.    Omar has also trained as a professional contemporary dancer and a yoga/mindfulness teacher since he was fifteen years old and, as a result, sought accreditation as an art therapist.  His work with sexual workers, the disabled, indigenous populations living in the Amazon Rainforest, prisons, and orphanages has brought him well-known recognition. He has worked for more than 20 years with various governments and organizations all over the world.    Techniques and inspiration used by Ananias:  His artwork has drawn inspiration from various sources including: the natural world, his personal encounters with marginalized communities, and the indigenous knowledge of the rain forest. Additional inspiration is drawn from Kris Gebhardt, Viviana Quea, Gam Klutier, Hideaki Yamanobe, and Carola Kastman.    Omar Ananias's love of the natural world also inspires him to create landscape designs and live plant sculptures made of clay, glass, and wood, in addition to his digital portraits and mixed-media abstract paintings on canvas.  He uses many self-made and unconventional instruments/materials for his paintings such as condor feathers, Peruvian gold...
