First Friday March 6th @ Arch Enemy Arts

Arch Enemy Arts invites you to join us on March 6th from 5 – 9 pm for the opening reception of five new solo exhibitions, alongside ELIXIR II, our March group show that’s sure to quench your thirsty imagination. All of our solo artists will be in attendance, and Graham Yarrington plans to do a short acoustic set of music to accompany his work early on in the evening.

Exhibitions:

IMPRESSIONS by J L King

2/21/26 – 3/15/26

Bay Area artist J L King combines trompe l’oeil finesse with early surrealism, recalling painters like Magritte, Kay Sage, and de Chirico. As if that weren’t enough, each piece in the series makes a protagonist of one or more composite creatures—featuring fat-bottomed pears, potted green-people, and one giant strawberry-fly—adding a contemporary pop humor that’s an absolute joy to behold.

DREAMER’S CLUTCH by Aunty Beast

2/21/26 – 3/15/26

Local puppet-master-extraordinaire Aunty Beast creates meticulously crafted plushies, puppets, pups, and beasts. Each is hand-sewn, wrought from another world, and imbued with their own life and personality.

ASHES OF THE ASTRAL by Brian Serway

3/6/26 – 3/29/26

Brian Serway illustrates black and white fantasies inspired by the mystery, mysticism, and folklore of his home in the Appalachian mountains. With stylistic details practically carved into (or out of) the negative space, his drawings traverse the page with momentous shifts of darkness and scale in relatively small and contained compositions.

INTO THE VOID by Mike Gamble

3/6/26 – 3/29/26

Philly-based painter and master printmaker, Mike Gamble debuts his first solo exhibition of hyperrealistic and mystical oil paintings, a number of which have been used as official posters for the band TOOL. A legend among the TOOL Army, Gamble’s art is a lot like the band’s music—inspired by a consciousness that exists within emptiness.

THE CHERISHED UNKNOWN by Graham Yarrington

3/6/26 – 3/29/26

Rochester-based artist Graham Yarrington illustrates translucent dreamscapes in ink and acrylic that effortlessly glow from pristine white paper. An emerging artist, tattoo apprentice, and poster illustrator, this is Yarrington’s first solo exhibition of new work, and it is an absolute triumph of skill and vision.
