"Fresh Faces: Five Contemporary Artists"
2006-01-06 until 2006-02-11
Judy A Saslow Gallery
Chicago, IL, USA United States of America

From January 6 to February 11, 2006, the Judy A Saslow Gallery in Chicago exhibits Fresh Faces: Five Contemporary Artists. Included in the show are works by Michael Brieger, Philip Stein, Fort Guerin, Emmett Kerrigan and Blair Thornley. Judy A Saslow Gallery of Chicago proudly presents intuitive, outsider, self-taught, visionary, folk, ethnographic & contemporary artworks. The Saslow Gallery has an international reputation for exhibiting the best in visionary artworks by extraordinary self-taught artists.

The Portland Mercury says of contemporary painter Michael Brieger, “[His] intricate method of shading makes for incredibly elusive images up close, amplifying the mystery and creepiness of his subject matter. The gravity of Brieger's talent is disarming.”  Philip Stein makes photo and mixed media constructions using many different photographs of the same thing; mixing orientations and viewpoints of the objects creates dizzyingly exciting results.   Fort Guerin combines images and stream of consciousness text to create uniquely beautiful, sad and humorous drawings and paintings on wood.  Emmett Kerrigan will show a new body of work inspired by top-like forms that he makes by hand.  After assembling groups of these “tops” he creates paintings from the designs they generate.  Blair Thornley is an award winning illustrator and painter.  Her exquisite use of color and whimsical subject matter are the trademarks of her stylish new paintings.
