BRAD MELAMED | (still) Curious (yellow) | WAITING ROOM

October 26 - December 12, 2025

VIEW EXHIBITION

In the Waiting Room, Brad Melamed, will be exhibiting, (still) Curious (yellow), a recent series of paintings on paper. The series incorporates recurring themes in the artist’s work including pattern, repetition, gesture,  process and the grid. Encoded in these vibrational fields is the quantum principle that each part is equal and essential to the whole, and paradoxically, the whole is of infinite variations. In this notion, the rotated and mirrored components are understood to be both quantum and democratic.   

Each work in the series is constructed by the following set of rules:

Each painting is composed of nine 8” x 6” units.

All marks are made with a 2” house painters brush.

The palette is limited to white, black and yellow.

Each stroke is a gradation from black to yellow to white.

The ground is an arrangement of light yellow and light grey 

The end of each stroke must go off the page or be concealed by another stroke.

Brad Melamed lives and works in New York City. He grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and received a BFA from the University of Michigan ’76. He has shown at Artists Space, the Drawing Center, the New Museum of Contemporary Art and had solo exhibitions at East Village gallery Piezo Electric. Presently he assists in managing the art and archive of the estate of artists Geoffrey Hendricks and Brian Buczak, as well as being artist-in-residence at the townhouse of the estate.
