ART THAT SPEAKS

After successfully publishing six books of poetry, the multidisciplinary artist Arch Hades is continuing her creative journey into the field of painting. Working at the intersection of fine art and the spoken word, she extends upon the common themes of existentialism, isolation and contemporary angst found in her poetry, manifesting the same on canvas. At times fully monochrome and at times with just a suggestion of colour, Arch Hades perfectly curates a quasi-representational mise-en-scene in her works.
