New Exhibitions Start March 19-20
Figure It Out: Eccentric Visions in Figurative Art
Opening: Friday, March 19, 6 – 9 pm
Epiphany Center for the Arts
Figure It Out: Eccentric Visions in Figurative Art brings together five artists from the Midwest who make distinctly idiosyncratic figurative work. Each of them presents a unique vision that feels both alien and familiar; one that is grounded in personal emotions but is also infused with popular culture, humor and shared experiences. They offer personal mythologies and introspective processes that are made accessible through a language of cartoon imagery, patterns and bright colors.
Opening: Friday, March 19, 3 – 8 pm
Chicago Artists Coalition (CAC)
Preview 10 presents various creative viewpoints from recent works that are gestures in new directions for the artists, in preparation for their solo exhibitions in 2021 and 2022. The exhibition is conversational, provisional, and open-ended in allowing the art to define itself and to evoke feelings of persistence and renewal.
Exhibition begins March 19
