Chicago Artists Map Their Journeys, in Multi-Medium Show in the Loop

 

“Artists’ Atlas: Mapping Their Journey” at the State Street Gallery, showcases the work of nine Chicago artists, who explore and map location, memory, and identity in this multi-medium art show. Artists include Kass Copeland, Deanna Krueger, Alan Emerson Hicks, Jason Messinger, Matt Nichols, Emily Rapport, Jordan Scott, Marya Veeck and Joey Wozniak. Curated by Jason Messinger, in conjunction with Robert Morris University.

Rivulet - Deanna Krueger

The artists’ unique perspectives and unconventional approaches to materials are reflected in a variety of both two and three dimensional forms. The show includes paintings, drawings, collages, sculptures, tile murals, assemblage constructions, and installations.

Alignment - Jordan Scott

The artists utilize materials as varied as paint, ink, canvas, paper, wood, ceramic, photographs, prints, text, found objects, plastic packaging, historical images, star charts, recycled medical diagnostic film, and cancelled postage stamps. 

Temporary Insanity - Marya Veeck

By mapping places, charting memories, and tracing the elements of identity, the nine artists present a visual atlas of our interior worlds. 

Galileo - Kass Copeland

Kass Copeland’s box assemblages have a keen sense of personal intimacy and memory-laden nostalgia built into their subtle forms and dream-like narratives. 

Abyss - Deanna Krueger

Deanna Krueger’s photographic close-ups of abstract paint strokes evoke aerial and satellite landscapes. Her textile-like wall-hanging utilizes recycled X-ray and MRI film to create an external landscape made from internal views. 

City Map / Detail - Installation by Alan Emerson Hicks and Jason Messinger

Alan Emerson Hicks constructs and weaves plastic remnants and recycled packaging into exuberant and richly detailed sculptures that speak to personal identity. He collaborates with Jason Messinger in installation "City Map", and he will construct two new 'Super Hero' sculptures over time in the gallery front window.

Blueprint - Jason Messinger

Jason Messinger’s ceramic and porcelain tile murals emphasize the beauty and humor of maps, blueprints, postcards, and directions. 

Double Dutch - Matt Nichols

Matt Nichols’ patterned collage paintings evoke multi-layered memories, and narrate life as complex and beautiful.

 

Purple Flower at Construction Site - Emeily Rapport

Emily Rapport presents realistic but atmospheric paintings of urban buildings in transitional states, and exposes the potent symbolism of homes in our psyche. 

Grand Traverse / Detail - Jordan Scott

Jordan Scott uses cancelled postage stamps to create elaborate maps and forms, utilizing raw materials that have already traveled the globe. 
 

Layers of Language - Marya Veeck / portraits of artist studios series

Marya Veeck illuminates her own personal story in her richly detailed still-life paintings, and reflects the art practices of other artists in a new series of intimate portraits of their art studios. 

Orion Nebula - Joey Wozniak

Joey Wozniak’s figurative tableau paintings merge text with stylized figures from art and history to illustrate a personal search for an artist’s identity. His humorous urban landscapes depict the world as a stage.

Born Under Punches - Matt Nichols

‘Artists’ Atlas: Mapping Their Journey’ exhibits at the State Street Gallery, prominently located at the corner of Van Buren and State Street, at 401 South State Street, Chicago.
