Coming Soon! The Triptych Series

Melinda Camber Porter states in her Introduction, “The Triptych Series consists of a series of twenty-seven large oils on canvas exploring the triptych form as both altarpiece and sculptural shape.” Triptych derives from the Greek meaning “three folds.” 

In the Foreword, New York gallery owner Walter Wickiser states, “As an artist, Melinda Camber Porter’s use of line and form is completely original. Her artwork could be defined as ‘figurative abstraction’, because she pioneers new territory in both the abstract and figurative domains. Her extraordinary use of color would inspire a composer. Melinda Camber Porter faithfully pursued her own ‘cosmology,’ which was constantly evolving, evolving, evolving.”

The Triptych Series

Peter Trippi, Editor of Fine Art Connoisseur, “compares Melinda Camber Porter’s own ‘cosmology’ to that of Michelangelo, whose conflation of the spiritual and the material, the chaste and the sensual, horrified and aroused his contemporaries even as it communicated his highly personal understanding of God, man and their interrelationship.”

Melinda Camber Porter’s Triptych Series will on exhibition at the John A. Day Gallery at the University of South Dakota from September 19 to October 14, 2016.
