Arch Enemy Arts presents MOUNTAIN MYSTIQUE, a spotlight of five new paintings by Molly Devlin. 

Devlin’s paintings are like whispers. With translucent layers of organic matter, the artist overlaps glasslike shapes to render surreal yet recognizable forms. In this series, Devlin has used her distinctive painting style to capture the magic of fall in a mountain forest, articulating its flora and fauna with fallen leaves.

 

“I spent some of this year adventuring into the Sierras and Appalachias, places on earth that feel very special and ancient, so I’ve chosen textures and animals that I encountered in the wilderness, that which I’ve seen and that which lurks beyond my eye. So much of my inspiration comes from the mountain ranges that linger majestically on the horizon line, holding secrets that we can’t begin to comprehend.” - Molly Devlin

 

These paintings seem tinged with the scent of damp earth as Devlin’s brush embraces each beautiful creature in the delicate melody of autumnal decay. Through the quiet rustling of entangled leaves, her paintings trace the soul of a forest that exists connected, unknowable, and beyond our understanding.
