Deutsch, Janson, Koon and Kraut at Laura Moore Fine Art Studios

The four painters in this show at Laure Moore Fine Art Studios, colleagues and friends through the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, are all interested in landscape as sources for their work. They all live in the Midwest, in the Chicago area, with its flat terrain and harsh winter weather. Each of them has found inspiration from landscapes they have found in distant and very different types of places. The challenge for all has been to create a practice which allows them to make these subjects their own and to paint them throughout the year.

Review of Elliot Hundley’s The Bacchae at the Nasher Sculpture Center

Ancient Greek tragedy inspires great art, and LA-based artist Elliott Hundley’s The Bacchae , currently on exhibit at the Nasher Sculptural Center, is no exception. Through a combination of found-object assemblages, stunning large scale collages and an oil on linen painting that nods to de Chirico, Hundley’s work evokes all of the lust, betrayal, violence, and despair expected in a visual interpretation of ancient Greek tragedy. Metaphysical art is presented through eclectic materials, photographs and a unique interpretation of the human form. Hundley’s catalog challenges the observer’s preconceived ideas of sculpture and collage, and brings Euripides’ final, tragic play to frenzied life.
