Probe by Bonnie Melton
Oil on wood panel (oval); 16 x 14 inches. This painting was dubbed by Bonnie as a *Lost Painting from 2021, which she recovered in 2022. The original title of the piece was Doub Oval but upon its recovery, Bonnie renamed this piece Probe. The probe in question stands alone against a solid black background, the ovular shape of the panel mirrors the shape of the probe which is emerald green with a subtle orange outline. A white conical shape protrudes from the emerald oval, extending beyond the restraints of the panel. Whose hand is extending the probe to the viewer’s sight? What is the probe’s purpose, for health or interrogation? We can only guess at the answers and enjoy the piece’s stark simplicity.
