Bittleston's works in a mysterious substance that exhibits traits of both solid and liquid – though it can't be definitively classified as either. This enigmatic material gives rise to several interesting, albeit incomplete, interpretations. If the substance were solid, how could we see through to the layers of activity underneath, we would be looking at a roiling sea from land. This transparency could be accounted for if the substance were liquid, but in that case, the surface ripples are impossibly piled up, and we must be on a boat adrift, looking back – in short, this indefinable substance straddles states of matter, obeys its own unique laws, and demands a shift in elucidation. Challenged to be resolved, this substance arouses something so deeply dualistic, that like beings, it must be both solid yet insubstantial, it must be neither material nor flow, but the very substance of embodiment itself.

Light and shadow has never looked so good as it does in the art of Misha Bittleston. They so deftly defy color that their work could only futilely be described as monochromatic. Hallucinatory genius, watch as chance is captured in a romantic blend of curiosity and drama. Travel through cosmic rain, tattooed tire tread marks, the Shroud of Turin, a haywire zygote—or whatever you see in his Rorschach feel of macabre allure.  Their canvas will rush in and awe you, incite you, excite you, take you back into your inner self, where you will learn to appreciate heaven, hell, and all points in between with the spontaneity of an exuberant child and the edification of a scholar. Does it sound unusual?  It is.  Let them weave your illusion into reality.

Through the ever-broadening lens of post-modern art, the boundlessness of Misha Bittleston's work allows for an immense blossoming. It is often ambiguity that resonates with the best-heard voice, and it is often the strongest artists that with vagueness accomplish the most. When granted the privilege of free interpretation the audience builds a personal connection with a piece, in effect allowing the artist's message to grow and mature.

Is Bittleston's work about creation or destruction? Is it spewing darkness or radiating light? Is the act of destruction necessary for the act of creation? The style and form of it seem to support this question: is light necessary for darkness, is life necessary for death? Bittleston's work is proof that searching is creating, and as the works progress, they reveal that creating is also searching. For Bittleston, what precedes lays down the fertile foundation for what is to come, with the theme of the creator-who-is-also-a-destroyer reverberating throughout.

Misha Bittleston's work maintains concealed meaning that licenses a positive mystery. Their works appear to be documents of a great, unknown place which, pieced together, lead us on a journey into new mysteries of a new universe, or invisible branches of our own obdurate world. Their beings are true aliens, and their introspective buildings are a textured synthesis of the prehistoric with the post historic and the primal with the corporate.

Mysterious. Trying to penetrate the veil that covers dreams and visions; seeking for meaning in the light and darkness of color. Bittleston's paintings evoke musical compositions all wrapped in structural harmonies of poetry. Rare harmonies. They give the surfaces lightness and weight, revolt and appease.

Marguerite Saegesser

Misha Bittleston's paintings are very interesting and well done, masterful use of monochromatic materials. I see a lot of fractal imagery in their forms.

Bruce MacEvoy

I was very taken with Misha Bittleston's work. 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 the black and white work, and was swept away with the street views and the Daliesque figures. Bittleston's work is highly imaginative, I am rarely impressed by new art with such immediacy.

Anna Seluyanova

I am attracted to Misha Bittleston's black and white works. Lots of movement, beauty and really captivating shapes.

Mindy Wilson

I am impressed by the risks Bittleston takes, the boundaries they push, and the way these are evidenced by the assortment of media they explore.
