Still Open, Ink Paintings of Chicago by Emily Rapport

Join us this Saturday, July 10, 1 - 6PM, for the re-opening of our gallery and the opening of "Still Open," a series of 24 new ink paintings on paper by local artist Emily Rapport. The exhibit will be on view through August 14, 2021.

"Still Open," explores a familiar subject for Rapport - neighborhood scenes and portraits of a changing urban landscape. Her typically vibrant painting palette is restricted to monochromatic earth tones of black, grey, brown and sepia. 24 inky urban landscape paintings feature down-at-the-heel homes, corner stores, vacant lots, and construction sites from the near Northside neighborhoods of Lincoln Square, Ravenswood and Bowmanville.

These paintings are like short stories; each a self-contained narrative that contributes to a larger sense of the current American landscape. Regular gallery hours resume this week, they are: Friday and Saturday, 12 - 5PM and by appointment.

Exhibition Dates: July 9 – August 14
