John Opera: Anthotypes and Abstract Location
@ Andrew Rafacz Gallery
835 W Washington Blvd, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Saturday, April 2nd, from 4PM - 7PM
On view through Saturday, May 14th
Work by John Opera.
Featuring works by Steven Bankhead, Katarina Burin, Fritz Chesnut, Jacob Dyrenforth, Freeman & Lowe and Ryan McGinness.
The artists featured in Abstract Location use abstraction and re-presentation as a way of examining the physical world, offering everyday experiences and images but in skewed and difficult to define spaces. The idea that our senses can provide ways to view and construct as well as deceive our logical thoughts drives this creative process. Whether it is a hallucinatory experience as in Ryan McGinness’ Black Holes, or Freeman & Lowe’s examination of aesthetic constructs, Abstract Location looks externally for inspiration from abstracted forms and concepts.
