Mélisande

by Christopher Moeller

“Golaud: What is that glittering there down in the water?
Mélisande: Oh where? Ah! It is the crown that he gave me. It fell in while I was weeping.
Golaud: A crown? But who gave you a crown? I’ll see if I can reach it.
Mélisande: No, no! I don’t want it! I would much rather die… die now at once.”

-Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande

For twenty-six years I used my art to build imaginary worlds, populated by fantastic creatures. More recently, my desire for invented worlds has given way, unexpectedly, to a love affair with this world. I am experimenting with new approaches, both in terms of subject matter and craft. I am developing my instinct for authenticity... for things with real power. I find myself drawn to landscapes, both outward and internal, that feel real. My paintings document a slow, often frustrating, recommitment to the fundamentals of art, and a reconnection to the human experience.
