Celebrate Chicago Artists Month by joining Joan Arenberg
for studio visits with artists across the city. Meet Deb Sokolow, whose
text-driven drawings chart the obsessive inner dialogue of a nameless,
paranoid narrator who speculates on various topics relating to popular
culture, politics, and human nature. Then visit the studio of Geoffrey
Todd Smith, who creates colorful, intricate, patterned drawings inspired
by a wild geometric order. At the studio of Curtis Mann, a participant
in the 2010 Whitney Biennial, learn how the artist appropriates and
manipulates found photographs to create new images, transforming
documentary photographs into abstract pictures. After lunch at Wishbone,
meet Robert Davis and Mike Langlois, collaborators who take an equal
role in developing ideas, choosing subjects, and executing their
photorealist paintings. Conclude with Richard Hull, whose paintings
explore relationships between empty and full spaces, using vibrant
colors, expressive lines, and other diagrammatic marks.
