ALEX GARANT

BEWITCHERIES

solo exhibition

Opening February 17th, 2023

 

Arch Enemy Arts is excited to present Alex Garant’s solo feature: BEWITCHERIES. Exhibiting a collection of 13 enigmatic works, the show is an exploration of impulse, brushwork, magic, and multiplicity captured on both canvas and paper. 

 

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Alex currently operates out of Canfield, Ohio. Since her studies at Notre-Dame-De-Foy College, Garant has been exploring her fascination with patterns and the duplication of elements through near-hallucinatory representational art. Noting that the work is better seen than explained, the artist’s motivation behind these “optical illusion portraits” is equal parts love and the development of a visual language, hoping to move and inspire the viewers of her paintings. Indiscriminate of two-dimensional media, these works manifest primarily in oil paint, though, as seen in Bewitcheries, Alex shows an equivalent proficiency in economy and gesture through acrylic and micron marker. Within each black and white drawing is a power in its openness and a severity in its gaze, a delicate balance of positive and negative that revels in gestalt form. Graphic and attentive, yet airy and light, the works are stunning examples of Garant’s signature handling of the human portrait in a fresh and exciting view.

 

As a whole, Bewitcheries is a brilliant survey of Alex’s ability to enchant and mystify, displaying multiple media rarely seen together and for the first time physically displayed. The inclusion of oil studies presented next to her developed works provides an esoteric glimpse into the artist’s experimental process, and the spellwork captured therein.

 

Bewitcheries is Alex Garrant’s fourth solo exhibition with Arch Enemy Arts, coming after 2021’s sold out feature, Brief Moments of Chaos.
