Kit Mizeres creates vibrant gouache and watercolor works packed with surreal elements and influences. An artist and illustrator “living on the road,” both Mizeres and her work travels the country for shows and projects.

“She is known for her wildly chaotic and surreal works of art that are heavily inspired by themes of personal folklore and internal struggles in which she translates into visual narratives that often take on a very maximalist and dreamlike approach,” a statement says. “She is very content with sleeping in her car and living off of rice and potatoes at this point in time if it means she can continue drawing ridiculous things.”


Mizeres is a graduate of the Columbus College of Art and Design. According to the artist’s Instagram, she’s currently “lurking” in Charleston, South Carolina. She currently has a piece in the summer group show at Arch Enemy Arts in Philadelphia.

Kati Heck's wild paintings, sculptures, textile work, and photographs are featured in a new show at Tim Van Laere Gallery. "All my friends are wild" takes influence from philosopher Donna Haraway, who often explores concepts at the intersection of science and feminism. The show, running through July 6 in the massive space in Antwerp, collects both small and enormous works. Heck was last featured on HiFructose.com here.
Miriam Escofet creates rich oil paintings of idyllic scenes that nostalgically allude to classical antiquity. Perhaps the only notes of pessimism in these sumptuous depictions of ornate architecture, statues and jewels is that Escofet's heavenly world seem to be nearly devoid of human inhabitants. This is a place that seems to belong to the gods — too perfect for mortals. Escofet originally studied 3D design and set out to be a ceramicist, which explains her attention to texture and volume. Each crease of fabric and crevice within a tree's bark is rendered with precision. Light and shadow are greatly contrasted to a level beyond what we normally experience with the human eye, making Escofet's fictional lands seem vivid yet illusory.
