The New Hampshire Art Association will feature the work of artist, Jesse Mireles in a show titled "¡Expresionismo!" at its Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery in Portsmouth, NH. The exhibit runs from February 22 through April 2, 2023. The art opening will take place on March 3 from 5-8 pm

Mireles, a new resident of Salisbury, MA, moved from Ohio in mid-August 2022. He is a painter, printmaker, and award-winning graphic designer. He was born in Mexico but grew up in Toledo, Ohio, studying art and graphic design in high school and painting, graphics, and printmaking at the University of Toledo.

Mireles describes himself as an abstract expressionist. "I view my art as a mission to awaken repressed passions and emotions," he says. "My work is an ongoing experiment with paint to generate a visual euphoria with every new execution. In my life, I have found precious few abstract expressionist works by fellow Mexican-born artists," says Mireles. "I have worked to change that reality." 

¡Expresionismo! will feature three modes of art: paintings, prints, and collages. The primary section will feature paintings ranging from 5 1/2" × 5 1/2" to 4 ft x 8 ft, all in mixed media on paper, canvas, and panel. All the paintings in this section will be non-figurative experiments with paint applied with brushes, scrapers, and other tools.

The second section will be a series of framed giclée prints digitized from hand-drawn sketches, colorized on a computer, and printed with archival quality inks on fine paper. Finally, the third section will be three collages on paper and canvas. The prints and the collages will be representational but abstract.

Jesse Mireles was awarded a D. Pratt Framer Artist Opportunity Grant, which helps artists cover the costs of solo or artist-curated exhibitions. He sincerely thanks D. Pratt Framer for sponsoring this grant for the first time and helping to make artist opportunities more accessible.

The NHAA Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery is located at 136 State Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801. It is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 am - 5 pm, Friday and Saturday from 11 am - 6 pm, and Sunday from 12 pm - 5 pm. For more information about ¡Expresionismo!

”Water, An Homage," an exhibit of abstract paintings, prints, and collages by Toledo area artist Jesse Mireles is currently showing at the Gallery on Six in downtown Toledo. The exhibit is open to the public Mondays through Saturdays, 8 a.m. through 6 p.m. Mireles will also schedule private Sunday viewings by request.

“Water, an Homage” features some of Mireles' newest works of art. "The subjects of flora and fauna in my paintings were all, in some way inspired by that most precious life source, water," said Mireles. "Of all the planets in our solar system, Earth is the only one that has water on its surface, the essential element which makes life as we know it, possible," he stated

According to Mireles, the exhibit will be on view through February 27, 2022. Unfortunately, because of the threat of the COVID-19 Omicron variant, Mireles has chosen not to schedule an opening event. However, he may host a closing ceremony if COVID infections lessen significantly by the end of February.

Hutson Gallery is pleased to present new paintings by Jesse Mireles. Today, more than ever, Mireles is influenced by the natural world around him. Evening Sea is an acrylic on canvas painting inspired by Jesse’s love of the sea. Jesse writes “Every swell is different from the last and each wave breaks with its own drama. In the evening, as the clouds and the fog set in, there are light breaks that create amazing highlights and deep blues of waves with accents of foam lace. Sobreviviendo . . . speaks to the fragility of humankind, a theme especially worthy in 2020. It is a reminder that as victims or healers we are in a struggle to break free from the life’s constraints that are often imposed, but sometimes self- inflicted.”

Hutson Gallery is located at 432 Commercial St. Ste. 3 Provincetown, MA 02657. Gallery hours are Daily 11–5, Fridays 11–8 pm, closed Tuesdays. Reach Hutson Gallery by phone at 508.487.0915. If you can’t make it to Provincetown, you can find Jesse Mireles’ work at the gallery online.
