OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT

The Chloe Allison Melton Exhibit

About Her Exhibit…

I am inspired by nature and energy.

I want to know why things happen.

I am very curious. In a way, my art documents that.

I also consider art my platform to communicate about important issues.

I love that I can use art to inspire others. It allows me to show viewers a perspective they may not have otherwise considered.

In a world where everyone is seeking change, I believe the pivotal role of the artist is to be a messenger of the many perspectives people have.

I also love to include empowerment as one of my themes.

The pieces submitted include:

  1. A clothing collection I did based on women’s empowerment
  2. A painting I call “Persistence” (based on the persistence of a strong woman)
  3. “Mother Nature” (acrylic on canvas inspired by an essay I wrote called: My Mother, Nature)

More Exhibits

The Mera Ragsdale Exhibit

My paintings question the way we look at feminine bodies especially in comparison to how masculine bodies are viewed. In art history, the objectification and presentation of female bodies and an accepted way to present and view them has long been prevalent, specifically as non-threatening objects of sexual desire. My work questions these long accepted practices and empowers my subjects to visually challenge the viewer.

The Leah Yaun Exhibit

This piece is titled “Fear of Him”. It is about a time in my life when I kept quite about a series of situations in fear of what would happen if I spoke up. It is too common women are belittled by boys because boys think they can do anything they want. I think it is important to note that women are so much stronger than what society views us as.
