Munns uses Mid-Century motifs and soft colors to address gendered expectations. Cats appear often in her work as a sometimes symbol of spinsterhood, and in this case, empowered, ethereal creatures that transcend time and space.<b><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cI primarily use myself and childhood photos as reference material to paint surreal portraiture that capture my feelings of conflict and nostalgia,\u201d Munns says of the collection. \u201cThough there is beauty, sweetness, and sugary colors throughout my work there is also a tone of quietness or dreariness that can be perceived as sadness, strength, or aggression.\u201d<b><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Oxford Treehouse Gallery is proud to have the opportunity to display Pink Fiction by Melanie Munns.
