Chicago, IL Monday, October 10 th , Morse, Ave, Rogers Park. Chicago Artists Month is a citywide, collaborative effort showcasing Chicago visual artists and their work throughout the month of October.
Coordinated by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events in partnership with the Chicago Office of Tourism and Culture, Chicago Artists Month showcases over events, ranging from exhibitions to open studio tours and neighborhood art walks presented by museums, galleries, cultural centers, artists collaborates, and other organizations throughout the city.
The primary goal of Chicago Artists Month is to raise awareness of the extraordinary quality and depth of our visual arts community.
October 1. Milwaukee and Oct. Sheridan, Chicago by Felissia Capeletti July Shades of blue give way to one another, shifting the gridded waves. A picture-esque sailboat slices through the milky skyline. The old building, in a classic Chicago design, has character built right in. The lower level front room is warm and flooded with light from the bay windows. As I scale the steps, several portraits of glamorous women painted by David Moscoso onto rustic, woven mats gaze at me.
The ultra-chic, fashion-ista images contrast harshly with the warmth of the ruddy mats. This contrast is to be a broad reaching theme of the night. Offsetting the painted mats is a large-scale abstract of parallels and perpendiculars. It echos the glassy geometry of city tower windows, a cool, stoic piece. Over 35 artists are represented tonight. The halls are amply lined with pictures from a clear variance of artists ranging from graphic-novel caliber post-apocalyptic ink scenes to quaint pencil sketches, to figures in chunky dabs of oil.
Bold colors are mixed into the skin tone and the strokes are heavy, thick. The image has weight, but the curve of the pose is sweeping and light. Rooms are decked out in charcoal sketches in a style quite near German impressionism, bizarre sculpture, and oils in the schools of realism, impressionism, abstraction, even art deco.
I love it right away. Amani creates a fun-house visual for the imaginative viewer. Repetition of shapes and patterned intricacy in stunning, abrasive color including bright neons, matched with a focus on abstracted organic forms make these nonsense drawings pop. The line work, presumably ink, although medium is not specified, is so delicate and fine that the color gives motion to the design and manages to attain an unexpected hair-like quality.
One of the rooms is designated to a sister show, sort of a gallery within a gallery. The prompt has worked well to inspire some very exciting pieces. There are a few conceptual-realism pieces, a genre of which I am particularly fond.
Here is a canvas divided in half to juxtapose a stern-browed bust with a meek looking fellow in trousers. It is bathed in sepia tones which loan a nostalgic contemplation. Here is a strange mixed media sculptured hodge-podge babydoll perched on a suitcase, odd and nice to look at.
Here is a piece by co-curater Mary Quian featuring a self-portrait of the artist from behind, gazing into a gaping sea of faces and a mist of creative possibility. Besides the wild gambit of styles, this show is special in another way. The creators of the show, Mary Qian and Dorty Nowak wanted to make it full-experiential.
Fine artists of many practices were invited, including singers, musicians and poets who were matched with painters in the hopes that collaboration between the artists might enrich both pieces. In some cases, the partnership worked well, in others, not so well.
The poems were posted next to their respective paintings and a few were read out loud by the authors. With the writers reciting next to the parallel image, I noticed that, for a few at least, the impression made by both pieces was taken to the next level when experienced together.
They trip, singingly along rhythmic emphasis. Normally, a viewer has only the painter and him or herself to point him or her towards a conclusion while considering some work.
The third party involvement gives perspective on a stranger's interpretation of the same piece, while providing an extra medium for viewers to connect to. I hear some lilting, meandering music stylings from the next room and find my way to where acoustic guitarist Dan Casiallas is charming art goers adjacent a wall of panoramic photography.
The attraction is definitely in the color and images used, however, the viewer is also nudged to appreciate the well-placed negative space around the images.
Downstairs, an operatic soprano floats in the higher reaching registers of the front-room. This, accompanied by a short, fluid dance by masked and costumed co-curater Marianna Buchwald. Later on, enthusiastic pianist Ted Ehnle shows off his Chopin. So much talent, beauty and art in one place seemed to please the laid-back crowd of casual patrons and turned out to be, in my book anyway, a fun and successful gathering of multi-layered creative forces.
You can visit the show Wednesdays from 5 to 8, Saturdays from 12 to 5 except August 7th , and Sundays from 3 to 8 at N.
