Friday, September 4, 2009 - Friday, October 30, 2009
Be amazed by our exhibit of new work by artist Immy Mellin, known to fans as the Sharpie King. His nickname is the result of his use of brightly-colored Sharpie markers to create large scale drawings that can be described as graphic, geometric, complex, abstract, and surreal. A native of Acapulco, Mexico, Immy Mellin now lives in Pilsen. This exhibit is in conjunction with the Chicago Public Library’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and Chicago Artists Month. There will be a bilingual Artist’s Talk on Saturday, October 17, at 2pm in the Art Reference Room on the 8th floor of the Harold Washington Library Center.
