Craig Norton at Carl Hammer Gallery

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]

Forms & Fragments

On Thursday 26 April, I attended the opening reception of Forms & Fragments at the InterContinental Chicago O'Hare Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois. My expectations of classic "Motel Room Art" and a tacky "Starving Artist Sale" quickly dissipated upon entering The Art Museo section of the lobby. This group show featuring 3-D wall constructions is subtly integrated with artwork from the InterContinental's permanent collection which includes Modern masters such as Rauschenberg. The labyrinth of first fl... [more]

There's a lot of new talent emerging on the Chicago art scene, right now; talent that is art-historically knowledgeable and relevant. Artists are taking risks and galleries are following suite.
Antonia Gurkovska is a recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute and makes a worthy entrance, participating in two exhibits opening tonight. In a one-person show at Kavi Gupta, the... [more]

Review: Light and Air/Coalition Gallery in New City
Robin Dluzen, detail from "Tower Support Grids (Chicago)," 2010, duct tape and silicone caulk on insulation board
RECOMMENDED
Ethereal can mean delicate, insubstantial, or otherworldly. In “Light and Air” at the Chicago Artists’ Coalition Gallery, each artist’s work reflects upon the different facets “ethereal.” Connie Wolfe’s abstract hand-cut ink-jet prints suspended just inches off the wall appear fragile and d...

APR 05Review: Ian Weaver/Packer Schopf Gallery
RECOMMENDED
The African-American community of Chicago’s “Black Bottom” neighborhood, dispersed by white “urban renewal” in the 1950s, is presented here in a mix of faux historical documents, artifacts and maps, colliding a repertoire of symbols associating European racial and nationalist mythology withAfrican-American history and nationalism. There is a knight’s helmet, for instance, incorporating a raised Black Power fist in its design. Likew... [more]

Review: Alysia Kaplan/Living Room Gallery
RECOMMENDED
Fascinated by the “experience” contained in homes of the past, Alysia Kaplan seeks “points of entry” by making wall sculptures of ornate doorknobs, old-fashioned keys and a fancy doormat. She paints her works in the same fresh white color as the wall, places them on it symmetrically with a door knob and keys at each end, and the doormat between them at the bottom. To complete her installation, Kaplan has placed on top, above the mat, two sof... [more]

Ever Epic at LivingRoom Gallery (Madeleine Bailey, Chicago Art Magazine)

Tanya Hastings Gill at LivingRoom Gallery
October 9th, 2009 - November 14th, 2009
Posted
8/2/10
In Ever Epic, Tanya Hastings Gill invites us into a quiet installation at the Living Room Gallery with fragile drawings that just distinguish themselves from the whiteness of its walls. Resting in an amorphous fairy tale, attention to pattern and line speak to the collision of the natural and the manmade in these representational paper sculptures.
"ever epic"
Rather than illustrating a story, these pieces seem to hint at moments just beyond our reach. Safely tucked in the nook of a window bench visible fro... [more]

Sichhart and Square Cats

Fred Sichhart at Paul Henry's Gallery

Sometimes, it's hard to make it to openings. I live in Chicago, where openings are so intensely crowded, I can't muster enough social fortitude to leave my house and see art. It seems even more unlikely to travel all the way to Hammond, Indiana on those socially lazy -- or just plain lazy -- occasions.
That said, I am so glad I got out to see Fred Sichhart's show at the Paul Henry Gallery. Dave and Rita Mueller, the owners of Paul Heny's, have put forth a truly original and strange show. Aro... [more]
