Danie Mellor is an Australian fine artist whose themes integrate environmental and socio-historical concerns.  His message isn't quite as "left-brained" as the ideal I'm seeking (my goal is to find art whose ideas are clear through the art itself, without a separate artist's or museum statement).  But there's something to be learned from Mellor about ways to achieve that ideal.  Plus, his work is so beautiful that I'm utterly seduced into presenting it here.
