Item Description
Artist and MI uncle Arnold Mesches has been cited as "one of the most important social artists and renowned painters of our time."
The epic career of Bronx-born, Florida-based painter, 90, spans six decades in the studio and over 100 solo exhibitions, including the 2013 retrospective "Arnold Mesches: A Life's Work" at the Museum of Art and Design at Miami Dade College's Freedom Tower.
Mesches focuses on marginalized and forgotten characters. Acrobats, waiters and busboys, martyrs and demonic animals are all set against opaque voids and elegant, empty Baroque spaces. Mesches's nightmarish visions of the modern world are articulated with dense fields of vividly colored brushstrokes. They are theaters of the surreal, grotesque and absurd, lamenting and satirizing society's elite and the horrors of human cruelty.
He has had 141 solo exhibitions to date as well as countless group shows and is in the permanent collections of The Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Gallery, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art among others. His most recent solo exhibitions in SoCal were Coming Attractions at the Santa Monica Museum of Art (2009) and The FBI Files at the Skirball Museum (2004.)
