On View: “Sight Beyond Sight” Group Show at Arch Enemy Arts

Currently on view at Arch Enemy Arts in Philadelphia, "Sight Beyond Sight" is a group show that explores an age-old human impulse: our aching desire to predict the future. The show's title evokes the idea of the third eye, which symbolizes intuition and even psychic abilities in many cultures. The works in "Sight Beyond Sight" indulge in the occult and the surreal. The featured artist in the show include Naoto Hattori, who is known for painting his dreams, 100taur, whose fantasy paintings of strange creatures apprehend more than just the future of humanity, as well as Chris Leib, Aof Smith and others. The show opened on July 11 and will be on view through August 31. Take a look at some of the artwork after the jump.

Paul Romano Presents a New Body of Work with “Boundless”

Paul Romano presents a new series of melancholic paintings for his solo show, "Boundless," opening at Arch Enemy Arts in Philadelphia on May 1. The works in "Boundless" examine the turns that life can take and celebrate the beauty that can emerge from dark times. "'Boundless' does have a leaning in the melancholy, contemplating ideas of oneself through tribulation and loss and then, what remains," writes Romano. "What is left is hopeful, the vastness of oneself, not defined by outside perceptions, or objects, or a place, or a relationship." His highly symbolic paintings draw from personal experiences, fantasy, and mythology alike, emerging with narratives that celebrate the triumph of the human spirit.

On View: “The Fall of the Watchers” Group Show at Arch Enemy Arts

The forces of good and evil clash in an apocalyptic new group show, "The Fall of the Watchers," at Philadelphia's Arch Enemy Arts. The concept of the exhibit was inspired by the Book of Enoch, an ancient Jewish text that details the tale of the Watchers, angels sent to Earth and subsequently corrupted by humanity's hedonistic ways. While the work in "The Fall of the Watchers" is not overtly religious or even moralistic, artists like David Seidman, Caitlin Hackett, Chris Mars and Maria Teicher created a creeping, ominous mood reflective of the show's inspiration. The participants vary greatly in style and media — from watercolor to miniature sculpture — but their work shares an underlying tension and sense of foreboding. "The Fall of the Watchers" is on view through November 2. Take a look at some work from the show below.
