RETURN OF THE KING
S. V. Mitchell, solo Exhibition, Amsterdam 2009.
Mitchell held his first art Exhibition in the Netherlands at Gallery Chiellerie in Amsterdam from Sept 25th till Oct 8th 2009.
The exhibition brought together for the first time in Amsterdam an alchemy of Magik, Mystery and fine Art, in a style that only Mitchell can pull off. The exhibition opened quietly with a private view for selected guests, [ this is not Mitchell's normal style ] The doors opened to the public on the 26th amidst police Sirens and bemused on looker, a Shamanic ceremony was performed to evoke the horned god in the exhibition, at one point the door to the exhibition had to be closed to the public!! by the following morning , ''the word was out on the street''........

All of the artworks in Steven Mitchell’s most recent exhibit “Return of the King ” lays testament to the fact that the access to the ancient dream is more than a devilishly insinuating temptation, it’s a sacrifice of the human spirit to the unseen forces of the magical that Mitchell creates with his palette. Not many artists are competent in that arena, and yet, Mitchell, like a wizard and shaman, induces such a potent narcotic into our eyes and souls that it’s just inevitable to become possessed by his works. The beasts in his paintings are emboldened with a sense of modern urgency, where the human and beast elements are synthesized into one motif, BEASTHUMAN.
The paintings of Steven Mitchell are parchments of the Ancients, where Mythology is not stricken with a “charming” flash of light, but an essence and insight into the most powerful of all stratums, MAGICK!!!!!!
I strongly recommend this exhibit to all art lovers and those who are not familiar with the work of Steven Mitchell. You are in store for something beyond the realm of appearance, you will be POSSESSED!!!!!!!
