What People Say About Misha Bittleston
The following reviews and testimonials were written in exhibition guest books or received spontaneously from people who wished to share their experience of Misha Bittleston's work.
Mysterious. Trying to penetrate the veil that covers dreams and visions; seeking for meaning in the harmony of color. His paintings often evoke musical compositions all wrapped in structural harmonies of poetry. Rare harmonies. They sometimes seem randomly put together but they are organized in a very conscious way. They give the surfaces lightness and/or weight, revolt and/or appease. – Marguerite Saegesser
I am impressed by the risks Bittleston takes, the boundaries he pushes, and the way these are evidenced by the assortment of media he explores. – Sarah Cramer
Misha is a cosmic rascal, his paintings are very metaphysical they bring the soul into focus. – Ron Le Blanc
Misha Bittleston lives in mythos as he breathes the logos. His art creates a bridge to bring the invisible world which he has access to into the realm of the ordinary senses in which most of us live. – Rainbow Rosenbloom
Misha's trademark ghostly figures and colorful dreamlike images evoke the idea of radioactive people walking in explosive landscapes. – Palo Alto Weekly
The influence of William Blake in Misha's work seems to have diminished for me. The difference is that he draws better than Blake. Not since Rembrandt have I seen work like this.– Henry Violin
Beautiful work with a very unique technique and style.– Theo Fanning
Misha Bittleston's paintings are very interesting and well done, masterful use of monochromatic materials. I see a lot of fractal imagery in his forms.– Bruce MacEvoy
I was very taken with Misha Bittleston's work, both visual and written. The black and white paintings in particular have a powerful clarity that can only be found when an artist truly "follows the work".– Cheryl Isaacson
I really like Misha Bittleston's art - it's very elegant and groovy.– Lorna Li
I love your work, it's got a lot of depth and force. If you were a woman I'd say, "You go, girl!".– Lael Weyenberg
I really liked the work on the site (the black-and-white especially), got a kick out of the writing, and thought the overall site design was really great.I've shown your website to my boss, and he was also swept away with the artwork, especially the 2003 street views and the Daliesque figures. Your work is highly imaginative, and I am rarely impressed with new art with such immediacy as it happened this time.– Anna Seluyanova
I really enjoy passing by your installation at night. It has such a presence. Your work truly speaks to me from both a place of spirit and science. It's such a worthy exploration. I like the name of the installation too "While Joy Was Sleeping". I know Joy is your other, but I like the thought of joy, the emotion, being asleep. It's like sadness is the dream state (the illusion) and joy is the experience we can wake to (reality).– Brian Eder
I am attracted to Misha Bittleston's black and white works. Lots of movement, beauty and really captivating shapes.– Mindy Wilson
