Hungry Hill

Zolla/Lieberman Gallery is pleased to present Inflorescence, a new body of work that expands Cecilia Beaven's ongoing investigation of invented mythology within the ecological landscape of Chicago. Drawing on visual references from the natural world and her upbringing in Mexico City, the exhibition introduces hybrid plant, animal, and human forms that operate as symbolic structures through which cultural identity is understood as adaptive and continually shaped by environment and experience. Working across painting, drawing, murals, and ceramics, Beaven constructs staged surreal environments that extend beyond the picture plane and emphasize the relationship between personal history and broader cultural narratives. Her multidisciplinary approach examines how stories are formed, revised, and circulated, offering a framework for reconsidering established representations of Mexican identity beyond folklore.

Zolla/Lieberman Gallery is pleased to present Rhonda Gates: Beneath Hyperion's Sky, a series of landscape paintings shaped by observation of atmosphere, weather, and terrain. Drawing on the mythic figure of Hyperion, the Titan associated with heavenly light and cyclical time, the exhibition considers how illumination and temporal change structure both the natural world and human perception. Working in layers, Gates builds her surfaces through repeated applications of color and line, translating direct observation of the Midwestern landscape into meditative compositions. Circles, grids, and linear progressions organize the canvas, mapping shifts in light, horizon, and seasonal change. These formal elements register the passage of time and the changing atmosphere, so that the landscape emerges not as a descriptive view but as an ordered system. Situated between abstraction and representation, her work invites reflection on ecology, memory, and shared experience, positioning landscape as a site of connection within a time of environmental and cultural uncertainty.

Zolla/Lieberman Gallery is pleased to present&nbsp;El Jardin, a body of large scale paintings that emerge from the intimate pen and ink drawings first shown in Aguirre's recent exhibition&nbsp;El calor de las hojas. While the earlier drawings functioned as a space of reflection and discovery, the paintings extend those narratives into physical form, transforming quiet observation into architectural scale. Through layered paint and sculpted surfaces, Aguirre renders doors, walls, trees, and streets as sites marked by memory and absence.&nbsp;The works confront the ongoing realities of violence affecting Chicago's inner city communities, drawing from what the artist has seen, witnessed, and carried from youth into adulthood. Figures often recede, leaving deserted rooms, empty streets, and fragile traces of human presence that hold grief and remembrance. In this way, the garden becomes both memorial and offering, honoring lives lost while insisting that they are not forgotten.&nbsp; Image: Herman Aguirre,&nbsp;¡Ni uno mas!, 2023, Oil and oil/acrylic skins on panel, 63" x 98" x 4.5"

This Saturday March 14th, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., Addington Gallery will be participating in the River North gallery walk. We are opening a fantastic new exhibition, "Learn to Love", new mixed media work by Teresa James. Meet The artist, refreshments served! While still referencing the materials and techniques of her printmaking background, Teresa's current works are the result of a variety of techniques. She begins by adapting and repurposing historic impressions of maps, animals, and nature, layering and collaging them onto a variety of vintage book covers. The resulting geometric compositions provide a weathered, narrative field, a dimensional receptive site for her imagined, hand drawn figurative imagery, including her personal recurring iconography of winged hands. These hands seem to embody an expressive and creative power. The wings, delicate and mystical, whisper the possibility of a fluid mobility between worlds. The act of juxtaposing these images and blurring distinctions between techniques results in a series of shifting realities at once scientific, observational, and intimately spiritual.
