Delta van Melle (1998), is Dutch non-binary artist, based in Antwerp.
For their paintings with sculptural qualities, Delta mostly works with repurposed and found materials. Combining leftover wall paints, plaster and concrete in their work, they create a space for seriousness on one hand but always for playfulness. From childish drawings peeking through concrete and paper covered surfaces to flashes of neon appearing on serene, neutral coloured canvasses. Delta approaches their work with naivety - very intuitively and physically - finger painting, scribbling, and experimenting with all kinds of materials as they go.

Central themes researched in their work are elements from the streets - where imperfections and coincidences catch their eye - queerness and childlike purity. The rough looking but often fragile canvasses are a literal exploration of adding and removing with force, uncovering the personal aspects we hide from society.
