Kass Copeland @ The Belmont

 

Chicago Artist Kass Copeland's exhibition of new large scale paintings is not to be missed. Eight large scale works are on display in the recently remodeled lobby of The Belmont, at 3170 N Sheridan Road. 

Devotees of Copeland's smaller work will be mesmerized by the shear exuberance of these paintings. One part Fritz Lange's classic film 'Metropolis', one part Busby Berkley Musical, the pieces are perfectly situated in the retro deco lobby.  

While some of the works are already sold, the remainder are to be had at terrific end-of show sales prices. But don't wait, at the show ends January 30th. The Belmont Lobby is open seven days a week, including evening hours.
