Come Explore: The Untold Want

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:24:00 -0800

TOMORROW NIGHT (!), right after the Alice Artist Panel, we're presenting works by two creative forces that will "awww" with their imagination and ingenuity.

Jared Andrew Schorr creates works of light-hearted subject matter with the patience and precision of paper cuts. The kaleidoscope of colors and playful little monsters featured tomorrow night, will surely bring joy and and warm the hearts of many (promise, or your money back!).
Check out some of Jared's works via his blog, where he also offers some very cool wallpaper downloads.

Sean Chao sculpts and paints worlds filled of curiosity and amusement. His works stand as odd little moments frozen in time, where imagination and personal history intertwine and are delicately constructed with a gamut of mixed media. Come out and inquire into the natural wonder Sean's created for us, you'll leave longing for more.

Two budding artists heralding from Art Center pouring over with creativity and cleverness as seen in the above work aptly titled "Ear Drum" by one of the contributors Sean Chao. Chao also has work in the Curiouser exhibit that can be viewed online here (it is pretty wild!)

We will be sharing more info as we approach the opening, but I hope you are marking it in your calendars because it would be great if you could stop by to see some really fun feel good art!

Curiouser Spotlight: Andrew Wright

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:30:00 -0800

One of the more popular highlights from the Curiouser & Curiouser exhibit has been the impressive linoleum cut prints by Chicago artist Andrew Wright installed as a strewn deck of cards across the gallery walls. Wright's depiction of the Queen and King of Hearts cleverly captures each character's idiosyncrasies. The prints are each a limited edition of only 12 which are signed and numbered by the artist. They are rather sizable and each one is unique due to the process employed. I wanted to share with you photos from the production of the editions so that you can see the complexity of the artist's undertaking...interesting
