______________________________

“… I was no longer working with black… but with the material of black, the surfaces of black… created a light… and this light is a secret light… a light that is not obvious… it was coming out of the black….”
—Pierre Soulages

BLACK is number six in the Art of the Real series shows I have curated for Space Gallery. Each show in this series manifests itself in the “non-objective”: art that is not representational, that contains no recognizable figures or objects, and art that has no intentional derivation from any concrete matter.

The work for BLACK was selected because each artist uses black, not as negative space, but as an opening from which to reveal what lies at the edge of vision.

The Old Town Triangle Art Center
is proud to present Caffeine IX and Chicago Portfolio
In keeping with the Chicago Artists Month theme celebrating The City as Studio, this joint exhibition highlights Chicago as a concept, a gathering of ideas put into action, by a people who are fluid, in constant transition, resourceful, original, and all sharing the backdrop of the city as their studio.

Caffeine IX features works by the Artists Breakfast Group (ABG), a networking and support group for Chicago’s professional artists to gather together sharing information, technical advice, camaraderie and good conversation.

Joining ABG is the Chicago Society of Artists, which is introducing its first portfolio of prints, appropriately titled Chicago, curated by educator and internationally known printmaker Rene Arceo.
