About the Artist

Jonah Meltzer is a Michigan based artist and intuitive psychic. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Michigan State University in 2018. Jonah is inspired by the idea of making art like elixirs that suspend elemental ingredients like notes in chords, forming new types of visual resonance. He hopes to induce strong feelings, memories, and associations, from raw color and texture. The works counterbalance randomness with measured intervention, a metaphor for discovering meaning and purpose amongst the chaos of life. Horizontally stacked color fields reference the spirit of Blinky Palermo, Agnes Martin and Mark Rothko, artists famous for their containment of energized color. Jonah’s work builds on this tradition while also participating in discourse regarding spiritual identity, esotericism, queerness, the internet, magic, and mental health.
