  • Ben Stone
    • "Ben Stone's performance artwork, here rendered by staff sketches of Harry Caray, a robot, and a self-imposed restraining order, challenges what we understand by showing the ridiculousness in the everyday. To see more of his work, see his website below."

  • Sarah Ettinger
    • "It never comes as a shock to recognize nature's influence on the man-made. Sarah Ettinger explores nature's lines and shapes and their translation to the unnatural world. Grids, spheres, and neo-geo elements make their way into Sarah's own aesthetic purview. ."

  • Jan Jones
    • "Jan Jones explores the intersection of nature and reality, citing the relationship between the two as a harmonious dichotomy that inspires her, both spiritually and artistically."

  • Paul Rizzuto
    • "The bright colors of Paul Rizzuto's photography beam through the dark night as lights on the Tilt-a-whirl. Spring, we are reminded, is just around the corner."

  • Dennis M. Burke
    • "The art of Dennis M. Burke mixes cultural memory with the intractability of urbanity's overwhelming presences. A whirling dervish, we find that life itself gets lost in the strokes as it does between the towers of glass and concrete."

  • Kristen Flemington
    • "To be sure, Flemington's oneiric world is a seductive construction. Every girl – or, rather, every young lady – dons a skirt and a cardigan; and a pair of stockings, a pair of heels, and a pearl necklace wait, it seems, to be pulled tenderly from each girl's nymphic skin."

  • Aida Laleian
    • "If evolution is a theme of Aida Laleian's individual works, it is also a fact of her general career. This Galerie makes this clear enough, spanning the ever-changing work she began as a college student, at the Art Institute of Chicago, and the work she now produces as an associate professor of photography, at Williams College."

  • Sarah Hadley
    • "Sarah Hadley's photographs aim to capture the moments between sleep and wake within sepia-toned dreamscapes. Dancing on the verge of surrealism, Hadley's work offers a counterpoint to the visual reality of photography by challenging our perception of the object in its natural space."

  • Amy O. Woodbury - Part II
    • "In Part II of our coverage on her art, Amy O. Woodbury's surrealist and cartoon-like cottages are on display."

    More of Amy Woodbury's Work
  • Amy O. Woodbury - Part I
    • "In Part I of our coverage on her art, Amy O. Woodbury's warped figurines jump into life in a dance of careful strokes and slashing lines."

  • Justin Cox
    • "Iconic in its own way, Justin Cox's work uses stark color and defined lines to draw out the essential in each of his works."

  • Angela Geis
    • "Angela Geis's work draws its strength from the dusky etherealness engendered by each of her photo's shadowed outlines, an influence that cannot be separated from her unique take on life: one drawn through blind eyes."

    Read more about Angela in her interview with Editor Mikayla Lynch, located in Menagerie: The Darkroom of Angela Geis. »
  • Michael Goro
    • "Raw, dark, and beautiful, Mischa Goro's art is a menagerie of carefully disected forms, their limbs cut down to the rubbery tendon, left, if just ever barely, connected."

  • Fidel Rodriguez
    • "What Chicago Artist Fidel Rodriguez brings to the city is not simply art: It is a procedure of living displayed on canvas, encoded with numbers and letters and paint strokes. What Rodriguez's work brings is life, ciphered."

    You can read more about Fidel in his interview with Editor Mikayla Lynch in Menagerie, located here. »
  • Elizabeth Weber
    • "Chicagoan Elizabeth Weber's dreamlike pieces are composed with intuitive delicacy. The careful balance of light and dark, what is seen and what is imagined, come together in a fragile unity, rendering each finished piece into a complex field of both enchantment and curiosity."

    In Her Own Lens: A Look at Aida Laleian

    “An arrogance accompanies conceptualism, an arrogance that assumes realist painters like Rembrandt had no idea behind their work. This negation of the object is not at all what I admired: I’m a photographer—I love objects.”

    New Galerie: Art of Aida Laleian

    Witness the evolution of Aida Laleian, an artist offering a spectrum of challenges to the veracity of the photograph, where Alice’s looking glass is the fish-eye of her Minolta and reality is chimera.
