Design by Art Paul
Jewish artists and Jewish wisdom have combined inspirational forces in "Voices & Visions," a poster art exhibit making its way to Spertus Institute this month.
An initiative of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, Voices & Visions began its quest to communicate Jewish ideas through art by pairing Jewish graphic design artists with quotes from Jewish luminaries and classic texts. The result is a collection of 18 posters that will be open t... [more]

John Neff at Renaissance Society
March 3rd - April 14th
Posted
3/28/13
In a world full of bombastic imagery where colors have dominated, we have almost forgotten that a world of black and white imagery exists. It seems that B/W world is reduced only to Art history books or photocopies of B/W Printer (of my school that never seems to work). Nowadays, even people’s hair follow an artist’s color palette.
John Neff recent exhibition at The Renaissance Society of Art is an attempt to bring that bygone era of Black and White photography back in the mainstream. And I bel... [more]

THE TRICKSTER CROW: ARTIST AS DIVINE HEALERA Critical Review of Matt Schultz’s Exhibition The History of The Divisionby Adrienne Foster for Voice of Artist MagazineDuring what could be considered as the busiest showing season for artists in Southern Illinois, this year, one particular exhibition seemed to garner special attention from the community. The Southern Illinois University Museum of Carbondale held a truly unique exhibition this past March. From a museum whose exhibits tend to focus on... [more]

Art critic, Childhood-Girlhood-Adulthood
by Lily Kostrzewa
Lily Kostrzewa at Prak-sis Gallery
March 16th - April 17th
Posted
3/4/13
“For any artist, the most critical strokes upon the canvas are the introductory ones, which shape and define the skeletal structure that the details of refinement are hung upon, often determining the success, strength, or weakness of one's artistic vision… The artwork of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan based artist Lily (Lihting Li) Kostrzewa is as compelling and confrontational thematically as it is soothing and spiritual visually. Lily's technique is one that employs a vivid use of color delicat... [more]

Craig Norton at Carl Hammer Gallery
February 15th 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Posted
2/19/13
This is Craig Norton’s first Solo show in Chicago and he has really impressed the audience with his Mixed Media three dimensional Wall Art.
In Dropping Mom Off at the Old folks Home, Norton draws attention to the insecurities that come with old age. He also highlights the mentality of our society towards old people. We think of them as an outcast and neglect them.
His works are mainly a combination of drawings and collages layered on top of wood cutouts. The work touch the Robert Rauschenberg’s... [more]

Judith Geichman at Carrie Secrist Gallery
February 9th 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Posted
2/19/13
The ongoing exhibition of Judith Giechman’s work at the Carrie Secrist Gallery is a series of abstract works in Grayscale. She has taken the paper/canvas on an adventure where she explores the materiality by various mark making techniques, playing with the flow of paints, gestural movements, drips and layering. This depiction of abstraction gives each work a different storyline. Each work can be viewed as a landscape, or composition of figures in space, underwater-world or a science experiment of... [more]

Don't Fret at Johalla Projects
February 8th 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Posted
2/19/13
Don’t Fret’s work is carefree and hilarious not only through the characters but also through the texts. It depicts the common life of everyday people that encompasses the issues related to teenage, adulthood, old age, deprived sex-life, relationships, fights, etc. The works flirts with the genres of portrait, figurative and landscape painting (in terms of the setting they are in). Since they depicted scenes are closely related to us we can infer they are our biographies. Unlike Tim Arroyo th... [more]

GEOslant with Abraham Ritchie: The Generosity of Georgia Fee
by Abraham Ritchie
Posted
1/28/13
Abraham Ritchie was a Senior Editor for ArtSlant from 2007-2012. He currently works at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
I had been working for Georgia Fee for over two years before I actually met her in person, so I knew Georgia on a professional level much more than a personal one. This fact seems appropos to mention since it indicates values that were key to Georgia, and key to her work and vision for ArtSlant. Even if Georgia never met you in person, she wanted to create a possibili... [more]

CHICAGO'S MOMENT.
by Joel Kuennen
What makes EXPO CHICAGO different from the rest? Nicole Berry, Deputy Director of EXPO CHICAGO perhaps said it best towards the end of a chat we had on a sunny day outside a small café near the offices of EXPO in River North. “Hamza Walker said it in an article, ‘Chicago is having a moment,’ which is totally true… Chicago deserves an art fair, a serious art fair of the highest quality and we’re trying to bring that back, but it’s not jus...

IN THE THICK OF THINGS
by Sarah Hamilton
The walk into EXPO CHICAGO from the entrance to Navy Pier takes you down long corridors lined with confections and photo booths characteristic of the carnivalistic atmosphere Navy Pier is known for. Would this long walk be an omen of what EXPO CHICAGO held – an endless, fatiguing, gaudy market? Once in Festival Hall, however, the winding dark hallways of the mall give way to an aluminous open foyer. The bustling atmosphere of N... [more]

by Dana Bassett...
"Peregrine Program is poised at a unique threshold of the Chicago art scene. While it’s certainly not an apartment gallery, located inside of an East Garfield Park studio building, the space lacks the sterile snap of a commercial space. The walls are white, but the exhibition space is rather small, best lending itself to one person installations and the viewing of small works. Usually, the openings spill into the hallway where artists congregate, converse and bump into each... [more]

Seymour Rosofsky and Keiichi Tanaami
by Beth Capper
Keiichi Tanaami at Corbett vs. Dempsey
July 27th, 2012 - September 1st, 2012
Posted
8/13/12
Seymour Rosofsky’s works are scrutinizing glimpses at the surreal and ominous characters that populate Midwestern cities and suburban towns. Many of these figures are at once familiar and recognizable to us: lonely old ladies supping tea in a late night urban cafe, Christmas Santa Claus impersonators in drab, cheap looking suits – holiday cheer with a slice of desperation and humiliation -- grey men in grey bars. They reveal a city and its outer edges (Chicago perhaps) that despite being urban an... [more]
