TRAVIS DEMELLO

Travis DeMello was born on a small farm in upstate New York and grew up in Ithaca, NY. He studied Illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He currently lives and works in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. 

Travis’ intimate paintings and painted objects are painstakingly constructed using multiple layers of hand-cut gouache on paper within a shallow shadowbox. Despite the cacophony of nature Travis assembles, the paintings remain tranquil windows into dreamy afternoons only slightly shadowed by hypnagogic hallucinations.
