CONTEMPORARY FINE ART
Between Place
& Presence
Through painting and planetary sculpture I explore the wonder and the dread of an incomprehensibly vast universe. Driven by recent discoveries of thousands of exoplanets and the rise of AI, my work navigates the tension between cosmic scale, human vulnerability and our search for meaning amid infinite unknowns.
ABOUT
Based in Atlanta, Mechele Shoneman’s interdisciplinary practice moves between painting and sculpture. Her work draws from the physicality and material presence of the interactions that outline our transience.
SELECTED WORK
Explorations of identity, color and form through oils and mixed media
Abstracted otherworldly landscapes traveling through the unknown
"I am interested in the moment when a surface becomes a space, where paint becomes presence, where the flat plane opens into something you can almost step inside."
