The wild oil paintings of Kit Mizeres return in a new show at Arch Enemy Arts. “Farewell Transmission” explores the concept of solitude, with new works packed with mythological symbols and inspiration from the artist’s travels. Mizeres was last mentioned on cctvta.com here.

“’Farewell Transmission’ is a body of work meant to serve as a vehicle that heavily reflects the anxiety, loneliness and often very mundane aspects of my time spent living on the road this past year,” the artist says. “I am in a constant state of departure, I have come to realize, and am no stranger to saying my farewells at this point in my life. I wanted to transmute all of those disquieting and conflicting emotions experienced during my many moments of uncertainty and attempts of self-reliance and understanding.”

The show runs through June 28. See more works from the show below.

Prague artist Josefína Jonášová crafts surreal sculptures that toy with perspective and explore social issues. She uses fiberglass, concrete, epoxy, iron, and other materials to create her dynamic figures. Her public sculptures have appeared across the Czech Republic.
San Francisco based artist John Wentz plays with texture and abstraction in what he calls his "fractured" oil paintings of figures. Previously featured on our blog, the figures in Went'z work have been described as hazy, dreamy, and stripped away, broken down to a combination of nondescript washes and bold areas of pigment that evoke the feeling of remembering a distant memory that comes back to us as distorted. In his artist statement, he explains that "working within the classical idiom of the human figure, his goal is to reduce and simplify the image to it’s core fundamentals: composition, color, and paint application."
Johnie Thornton, a self-taught California native, blends photorealistic figures with engrossing geometric and otherworldly backdrops. His current work features those familiar, blue-toned characters, recalling pieces previously featured on Hi-Fructose. But the setting that envelops them has evolved into something more hypnotic—and somehow, more dangerous.
