Bridgeport Art Gallery

Bridgeport Art Gallery - 1200 W. 35th Street, Chicago, IL 60609, 4th Floor
Dates: August 19 – September 30
Opening reception: August 19, 7-10PM
This exhibition of hyper-realism features art work by nine artists who have been accepted into Bridgeport Art Center’s Annual Art Competitions over the past four years, including several award-winners. These artists create paintings and drawings that are so skillfully representational that it is difficult to distinguish them from photographs. The exhibit naturally raises questions about the effect of photography on fine art, the definition of “realism” in art, and why such art is so popular.

Artists Include: Anthony Adcock, Javier Chavira, Jennifer Cronin, Tracy Frein, Russell Harris, Roland Kulla, Jack Nixon, Kyle Surges and Zespo

Butler Institute of American Art

I was honored to have my artwork displayed at the Butler Institute Of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio.  My painting, Ace, received an honorable mention at the exhibition, and I saw some incredible artwork and met some talented artists. This was a memorable experience and I look forward to seeing my paintings again when they return to the John Pence Gallery in San Francisco

In The Studio

This is a painting I am working on for a show in December.  The exhibition is in Chicago at the Hyde Park Art Center.  I will keep you posted on the date and time.
