Mark Gleason’s new stirring, dreamlike oil paintings explore nocturnal and psychological themes. In a new show at La Luz De Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, titled “Sleepless,” the painter offers a new series of works that explore both broad and personal themes for the artist. The artist was last featured on HiFructose.com here.

“This nocturnal realm is fed by many sources that point me roughly in the same direction,” the artist says, on his recent work. “I wrestle with insomnia and adrenalizing periods of creativity, with philosophical and psychological themes that continue to occupy me, with the subconscious mind, self-awareness, and solitude. These liminal images are leavened with humor and intensified as theatrical visions.”

“Sleepless” runs through April 29 at the gallery. See more of his recent work below.

On View: “Body of Land” by Alexandra Levasseur at Mirus Gallery

Canadian artist Alexandra Levasseur (previously covered here) has new oil and acrylic paintings on view at Mirus Gallery, "Body of Land". Her tormented yet feminine subjects, painted in an expressionist style, make a reappearance as if out of a dream. Levasseur's artwork has always exhibited dreamlike qualities. Here, her subjects exist somewhere between a deep subconscious state and wakefulness. We find them melting into abstract landscapes, non-descript yet wild and untouched. In some of her most gestural work to date, physical form and nature are combined to create a single "body of land."

The ‘Emotional Portraits’ of Painter Carrie Pearce

The strain of imaginary realism found in Carrie Pearce’s oil paintings calls upon both 16th-century masters and the drawing style of the children she’s depicting. The artist says she creates "emotional portraits," rather than just portraits of people. She says her paintings are "aimed to entertain you and convey events real or imagined through images, improvisation and embellishment."
