1st Annual Rogers Park ArtWalk
Rogers Park Business Alliance invites you to the 1st Annual Rogers Park ArtWalk.
This curated ArtWalk is currently taking place in the Glenwood Avenue Arts District and continues until Sunday, November 6, 2011. Storefronts are displaying art work from 25 professional artists. Also, B1E Gallery, Evil Squirrel, Heartland Café and Lifeline Theatre are showcasing art. This event was created to be part of Chicago Artists Month.
I was pleased to be invited to apply for this exhibit. My artwork for Rogers Park Art Walk includes digital photography and oil paintings.
Digital Gothic
Digital Gothic is a series of photographs of the University of Chicago campus that focuses on the Gothic Revival architecture of the Main Quadrangle. I used computer manipulation of the images to develop unusual lighting, colors, and jumps in color gradation to create a dramatic modern photographic presentation of a century-old architectural order. In these photos the enduring architecture from this Gothic-revival era is expressed in almost non-objective terms, with strong variations of light and dark and with non-representational uses of color. This series of photos includes digitally altered views of architectural details, including: Cobb Hall Lamp With Ivy and Waterspout on Bond Chapel.

Cobb Hall Lamp With Ivy
This digitally altered photograph of Cobb Hall features a lamp with maroon and green ivy at the University of Chicago, Main Quadrangle. Cobb Hall at the University of Chicago was designed by architect Henry Ives Cobb, and is the oldest building on campus. Cobb modeled his designs after the Gothic style of architecture at Oxford in England.
Waterspout on Bond Chapel
This photograph of the waterspout on Bond Chapel uses shades of green. Bond Chapel at the University of Chicago was designed by Coolidge & Hodgdon (1925–26) and is another excellent example of Gothic Revival architecture in the Main Quadrangle.
Oil paintings
This artwork displays a stylized approach to representational art that combines elements of an abstract painting superimposed over realistic objects. The paintings include Lakeside City and Young Lady With Long Pipe, an abstract figurative painting.
Lakeside City
Lakeside City is a cityscape painting inspired by the view of the Chicago skyline at twilight.
Young Lady With Long Pipe
Young Lady With Long Pipe
Young Lady With Long Pipe is an abstract figurative painting.
My art is in the windows of Act One – Mayne Stage at 1328 Morse Avenue.
The information center is at the office of the Rogers Park Business Alliance at 1448 W. Morse in Chicago from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Hope you come and visit our first Annual Rogers Park ArtWalk and celebrate Chicago Artists Month.

Mile of Murals The Mile of Murals is a community public art project that is creating a mile of murals along the concrete embankment of CTA Red Line tracks within the Glenwood Avenue Arts District from Pratt to Touhy on both sides of the tracks. This summer we are continuing the project with a new installment on the east side of Glenwood Avenue from Morse to Lunt. Local artists Lea Pinsky and Dustin Harris coordinated this wall; they led last year’s block-long mural from Lunt to Greenleaf. For this project RPBA and Clark/
Morse/Glenwood SSA #24 recruited, coordinated and oversaw a small group of professional artists that worked together as a cooperative: Diana Berek, Chiara Padgett and Juan Carlos Perez. This year’s theme for the project is “Patriotism in Everyday Life”.
Street Sculptures 12 sculptures were created by local resident, artist and business owner Andy DeLaRosa (B1E Gallery) and other artists working at his gallery to be displayed on the street. These pieces of art, created entirely of recycled materials, are displayed on the sidewalk on Morse Avenue as a permanent exhibition.
