About Yellow Bowl

The distinctive contemporary paintings of Mel Davis have been admired by collectors throughout North America. The Montreal-born artist creates colourful, abstract compositions that often pay homage to French masters such as Matisse. This rendering of a bowl of fruit outlined in deep blue, the contents in bright orange, blue, green, yellow and pink stands out against the white and yellow backdrop.

“I am interested in how we as makers and viewers can find endless modes of description and emotional connection in these classical representations.” Mel Davis
