Carlton Mellick 2 - Biographical Abstracts

Each work is a riddle. Cryptically depicting a persons life through clues and codes. I challenge the viewer to determine the subject of each work. I first came up with the idea of a 'biographical abstract' about 12 years ago but could not produce the look I felt was needed. Then being heavily influenced by the works of Jean Michel Basquiat, I brought the elements together and began producing a series of these paintings. Riddle 4.0 is fairly easy. Scroll down for clues. Answer is at the bottom.

March 2012

I have been very busy this month with other business issues but I did manage to complete four small pieces which have been donated to the Rochester Comtemporary Art Centers annual auction and sale.
