Melinda Camber Porter explains, “The Triptych Series is twenty-seven large oils on canvas exploring the triptych form as both altarpiece and sculptural shape.” Walter Wickiser, gallery owner states, “As an artist, Melinda Camber Porter’s use of line and form is completely original as ‘figurative abstraction’ and her extraordinary use of color, she pursued her own ‘cosmology.’ 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. The Melinda Camber Porter Archive of Creative Works comprises two series of books. Volume 1 is a collection of journalism books. Volume 2 is a collection of art and literature books. Melinda Camber Porter passed away of ovarian cancer in 2008 and left a significant body of work in art, media, and literature. www.MelindaCamberPorter.com
