"Wildering" Basia Krol at Eat Paint Studio, May 7 - June 11, Reception May 7, 2022

Former Chicago Artist Basia Krol returns to the city with her new solo show painting exhibition at Eat Paint Studio. "Wildering" opens to the public Saturday, May 7, and continues through June 11, 2022. An opening reception will take place at the gallery on Saturday, May 7, from 6 to 9 PM

Burnt Prairie, oil, metal leaf, on linen, 33" x 34"

For artist Basia Krol, Wildering describes a re-awakening of self-identity through active observation of nature. Painted largely during the pandemic, Krol finds a grounding connection in the landscape of Central Illinois. 

Winter Steam, oil, gold leaf on linen, 32"x32" 

In the midst of uncertainty and loss, scenes from Indiana Dunes Park and Woodland View farm, the site of a vast prairie restoration, Krol's expressive paintings invite us to share a journey toward personal freedom and spiritual renewal.

She's A Mighty Tree, oil, gold leaf, on panel, 48" x 36"   

Eat Paint Studio is located at 5036 N Lincoln Ave in the Lincoln Avenue North Arts District (LANA), close to public transportation and metered parking. Chicago artist Emily Rapport opened the gallery in 2018 with an aim toward combining her studio practice with a public exhibit space. The gallery mission is to engage people in the art-making process and, through exhibitions in its storefront gallery, to integrate art into daily lived experience.
