| Melanie Ducharme
is a 28 year old artist/designer from
Coventry, RI. She studied fine arts at CCRI and graphic design at
the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. By studying both fine arts and graphic design, Melanie gained a slightly different perspective than others. She believes that graphic design is nothing more than conceptual art. Conceptual art has been a big inspiration to Melanie, who applies concepts to not only her designs but also to her paintings. However, there is more than just conceptual art that has influenced her work. Melanie's current work is inspired by Frida Kahlo, Ludwig Kirchner, Basquiat, and various graffiti that she has seen in the city of Providence, RI. Furthermore, Melanie claims that every aspect of life is a potential inspiration for her art. Melanie describes her work as interpretations of the world around her,
She does not create art for the sake of aesthetics, her work always has a concept; from ideas of sexuality to violence to feelings of joy. Melanie's art has a purpose besides being a beautiful image, it can make a statement.
Most importantly, she wants the viewer be have a reaction to it...love or hatred she doesn't mind. As long as it's not ennui, then Melanie Ducharme has succeeded. |
