Art Opening: Edith Mirante
Blue Vehicles (with Apparitions)
Edith Mirante
Painted in the Plague Years 2020-24. Portland, Idaho, Mexico, television. These pictures are glimpses through claw marks in the fabric of reality when everyday life became infected, charred, fungal. A car might be an escape vehicle or a wreck. An apparition might be a ghost or a manifestation or something you lost forever. Cue the mad fiddler. Call in the crows.
Edith Mirante’s art career has ranged across continents with shows in San Francisco (the legendary Jehu Wong Gallery), Bangkok, New York. Andy Ricker’s Whiskey Soda Lounge featured her Thailand motorcycle paintings. Her work is not like anybody else’s but lately she gets inspiration from Charles Burchfield, Arthur Dove & Mark Bradford. She is also an author and the founder of Project Maje, an information project about Burma (Myanmar.) Part of any sales will be donated to Burma’s Civil Disobedience Movement.
