I mostly spent my time in River North. A friend from class, Andrew Woolbright had a piece up at the Perimeter Gallery so we ended up there for a bit. This gallery is mostly figurative including predominately paintings with some sculpture. In my personal opinion I loved Andrews piece more than many of the other works in there, its truly beautiful. I really enjoyed his use of paint and color; his brush strokes very quick and thick. Another gallery in River North I went to was Habatat Gallery with all glass sculpture. I didn't know and artists except for some Chihuly work, a large hanging blue piece. Also in the Chihuly room were some of his paintings/sketches of vases which I liked in some ways more than the glass. The last gallery we went to was in Wicker Park called Roots and Culture wehre Carol Jackson, a professor here at SAIC, had a dual show with John Henely. Henely mostly had paintings while Carol worked with sculpture and mixed media.
Overall I had a good time looking at all the art. I didn't get to every gallery but will within the next couple weeks.
