Americana
“Americana” – Mixed Media Contemporary Art by Christi Meril
This powerful mixed media artwork explores themes of identity and transformation through a striking combination of traditional and contemporary materials. At 43″ x 30″, “Americana” features sustainably sourced old-growth redwood from Northern California, creating a dramatic vertical element that intersects with geometric black resin forms and vibrant spray-painted circular motifs.
The composition juxtaposes natural weathered wood against industrial materials, with hundreds of small black resin cubes cascading across the surface like digital pixels or urban debris. Behind this sculptural foreground, bold graffiti-style circles in yellow, orange, blue, and red create a street art aesthetic that speaks to contemporary American culture.
Created with acrylic paint, paper, nails, and resin mounted on a wood panel, this piece exemplifies Meril’s multidimensional approach to contemporary art. The sustainably sourced redwood carries the history and grain patterns of Northern California forests, while the mixed media elements reflect the intersection of nature and urban environments that defines modern American experience.
