Open House 2017


Ali Hasmut



1012 North Dearborn is included in the Chicago Architectural Biennial, giving our artists an opportunity to show to much a broader public than usually climbs up our steps.

And once again - this makes for one of the best shows of the year.

It's good to see Ali Hasmut again -- the above image is equally alluring and menacing.

Time travel back to 1930

Andrew Conklin


The pigment on the right is spreading out onto the beach just like the surf on the left.

This piece will spend centuries in the collections of people who love painting.




 Errol Jacobson






Evelyn Brody





 Fabiola  Roquena



I love lonely, mysterious urban views - especially when water is involved.






 Helen Oh



Another masterpiece - breath taking.



 Lenin Delsol









Leonid Ossening



This is how Chicago appears to an artist who grew up in Russia --- it's a whacky-fun place.

I hope that Nancie does many more aerial views.

This one is transcendent.

 It appears to depict the Elks Memorial (by the way - it was decorated with murals by a member of the Palette and Chisel)




 Stacy Street

This could be me waiting for a train that's been delayed. (though I read books - not smart phones )






Stephanie  Weidner

The Modern  Wing of the Art Institute has always reminded me of a mausoleum -- and Stephanie has painted it with the appropriate somber dignity.
