Chicago Grand Gallery Presents&nbsp;Erosion&nbsp;— Solo Exhibtion featuring Olivia Petrides Opening Reception: September 5, 6–10 PM&nbsp;On View: September 5–26, 2025 Chicago Grand Gallery is proud to present&nbsp;Erosion, a solo exhibition featuring Olivia Petrides curated by Alicja Seledec, opening on&nbsp;Friday, September 5, from 6–10 PM, and running through&nbsp;September 26, 2025. Erosion&nbsp;explores the intersection of politics, ecology, and the fragility of the human condition through abstract, gestural works that blur the line between atmospheric and political realities. Using simple materials—ink, paper, watercolor, gouache, and fragments of newspapers—the artist creates layered, visceral images that echo both the turbulence of the natural world and the chaos of contemporary social discourse. With roots in environmental observation and a commitment to unfiltered expression,&nbsp;Erosion&nbsp;presents a body of work that is at once immersive, unsettling, and urgent. The exhibition invites viewers to confront the ecological and political fractures of our time while imagining new possibilities for resilience and repair. This exhibit is supported by an Illinois Arts Council Artist Fellowship Award in Visual Arts, 2024.

Erosion: Olivia Petrides

My painting is a process of discovery. It becomes a metaphorical construct of personal experience and memory. Abstract shapes emerge, evoking a sense of movement and interaction; creating an implied narrative that is both ambiguous and surprising.

Diane Jurado: The Ambiguous Narrative

This collection of figurative oil paintings delves into the complexities of the human form, challenging conventional beauty standards and celebrating the power of inner strength. By employing bold colors, expressive gestures, and the evocative power of the face, these works invite viewers to engage in a profound and personal dialogue with the subjects depicted. The paintings aim to dismantle the idealized notion of female beauty, often imposed by societal expectations. Instead, they highlight the inherent beauty that radiates from within, rooted in individuality, resilience, and vulnerability. Through the use of expressive brushwork and vibrant colors, the paintings convey a sense of depth and emotion. The faces, in particular, serve as portals into the souls of the subjects, inviting viewers to contemplate their own experiences and emotions. The interplay of light and shadow further enhances the dimensionality of the figures, creating a sense of presence and intimacy. Ultimately, this collection seeks to inspire viewers to appreciate beauty in all its forms, to challenge societal norms, and to embrace unique identities. These paintings aim to leave a lasting impression, empowering viewers to see themselves and others in a new light.

‘The Scenic Route,’ featuring three of Chicago’s finest — Joseph Renda Jr., Laura Catherwood and Jerome Tiunayan!

The Scenic Route

Location: 207 E Buffalo St, Suite 404, Milwaukee, WI 53202 (Marshall Building, 4th floor)Kim Storage Gallery is pleased to announce, "STAY THE COURSE," a solo exhibition by Chicago-based artist Tim Anderson. Drawing from a life rooted in the Midwest and a career steeped in the traditions of oil painting, Anderson’s latest body of work explores the enduring idiom “Stay the Course” – a nautical phrase that evokes persistence, resilience, and steadfast direction. These works are not literal depictions, but visual meditations on history, navigation, portraiture, and endurance.Tim Anderson’s paintings serve as “signposts and signals,” reflecting a personal and historical journey through adversity and purpose. Inspired by language, classical references, and wartime perseverance, Anderson’s work continues his commitment to painting as a method of disciplined exploration. As he writes, “I need the research as much as I may need the act of painting. I need resilience, determination, and most of all, focus.”Join us for an evocative exhibition that reaﬃrms Anderson’s belief in oil painting as a lifelong artistic path – one that, like its title, stays the course.

Tim Anderson: Stay the Course

The Art Center Highland Park, in partnership with Oliva Gallery, proudly announces Facades, a powerful new exhibition opening August 8, 2025, that foregrounds three influential voices in contemporary Midwestern art: Nikki Renee Anderson, Aaron Becker, and the late Molly Schiff. Through sculpture, color, and dynamic form, Facades confronts themes of identity, visibility, and public space, inviting audiences to consider how we construct, obscure, and reveal ourselves in a constantly shifting social landscape. These three Chicago-based artists—each rooted in a distinct material language—deliver an experience that is visually compelling and emotionally resonant, shaped by Midwest sensibilities and a commitment to community dialogue. Nikki Renee Anderson, known for her ceramic sculptures and immersive installations, brings a tactile intimacy to the exhibition. Her works challenge static notions of femininity and identity, drawing on personal history to create forms that are at once soft and assertive, playful and deeply psychological. Anderson’s practice reflects a career of national and international acclaim, with exhibitions at the Chicago Cultural Center, Hyde Park Art Center, and the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, Italy. A professor and leader in ceramic education, Anderson’s work reclaims the domestic and decorative as spaces of feminist resistance and self-exploration. Aaron Becker engages viewers with a sculptural language that distorts familiarity. Trained in ceramics, Becker constructs imagined environments through abstract form and geometric composition, asking us to examine the energies that shape our perception of place. His work, which often pairs the functional with the conceptual, explores the thresholds between domesticity and disorientation. His installations provoke questions about presence, interiority, and what it means to occupy space. Molly Schiff (1927–2018), a visionary Chicago modernist, rounds out the exhibition with vividly colored paintings that channel emotional immediacy through abstraction. A lifelong creative force who began painting after a career in the garment industry, Schiff earned multiple degrees from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and exhibited widely across Illinois. Her works exemplify a blend of expressive form, bold palette, and open invitation to interpretive intimacy. She remains a cherished figure in Chicago’s art history and her legacy continues to influence new generations. Together, Anderson, Becker, and Schiff present a multi-generational conversation on form, identity, and the surface tensions that define civic life. Facades is more than an exhibition, it is a reflection on visibility, vulnerability, and the connective power of art in public discourse.

SoNa Chicago Contemporary Art is proud to host the culminating exhibition of the&nbsp;Industry of the Ordinary (IOTO) Summer Residency 2025, opening Saturday,&nbsp;September 6th, and running through&nbsp;September 27th, 2025. Now in its&nbsp;eighth year, IOTO's enduring and ever-evolving program continues to offer a platform for critical experimentation and bold expression by emerging artists.The 2025 residency expands its reach with a three-week public exhibition, offering viewers an extended opportunity to engage with the fresh, challenging, and diverse perspectives produced over the course of this unique summer program. For the first time, the show will take place at&nbsp;SoNa Chicago, creating a new context for these artists to consider the economic and spatial realities of exhibiting work professionally — including the opportunity to offer work for sale.At the opening on Saturday, September 6th from 5–8pm, all 15 residents will activate the full site of the exhibition address - moving beyond the traditional white cube to engage both interior and exterior spaces. Visitors can expect a mix of time-based, performative, and spatial interventions alongside two- and three-dimensional works, continuing the Residency’s longstanding commitment to diverse and experimental practices.An additional artist walkthrough will take place on Saturday, September 13th from 5–7pm, offering deeper insight into the artists’ processes and the evolution of the work.At its core, the IOTO Summer Residency is rooted in the belief that&nbsp;art has the unique power to bring diverse voices together, revealing new dimensions of what it means to be human. The program is structured around intensive studio development, open discussion, and critical inquiry — with weekly meetings and mentorship from&nbsp;Industry of the Ordinary, whose own practice challenges the boundaries between the personal and the public, the ordinary and the extraordinary.Housed primarily at IOTO’s studio at&nbsp;Mana Contemporary&nbsp;in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, the residency invites participants to develop new work across a variety of media while engaging in deep conversations around process, form, value, and impact. This year's cohort reflects the spirit of the program: intellectually curious, materially adventurous, and socially aware. Their work, shaped through both individual exploration and group dialogue, invites us to consider not only artistic outcomes but also the systems of meaning and connection through which those outcomes arise.Since its founding in 2015, the IOTO Summer Residency has cultivated a space for radical questioning and creative rigor. This year’s exhibition continues that tradition, inviting visitors to witness the unfolding of new artistic voices engaged in both&nbsp;personal narrative and public discourse&nbsp;— and to be part of a conversation that extends well beyond the gallery walls.Contact: Laura Botwinick, Phone: (773) 513-4436, Email:&nbsp;<a style="color: rgb(150, 96, 125);" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="mailto:lkbotwinick@gmail.com" target="_blank">lkbotwinick@gmail.com</a>&nbsp;Gallery website:&nbsp;<a style="color: rgb(150, 96, 125);" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sonachicagoart.com/" target="_blank">https://sonachicagoart.com/</a>&nbsp;Facebook &amp; Instagram: @sonachicagoartIndustry of the Ordinary (Adam Brooks, 773-301-7162,&nbsp;<a style="color: rgb(150, 96, 125);" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="mailto:adambrooks9@gmail.com" target="_blank">adambrooks9@gmail.com</a>; Mathew Wilson,&nbsp;312-927-8855,&nbsp;<a style="color: rgb(150, 96, 125);" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="mailto:mathewcwilson98@yahoo.com" target="_blank">mathewcwilson98@yahoo.com</a>)<a style="color: rgb(150, 96, 125);" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.industryoftheordinary.com/" target="_blank">www.industryoftheordinary.com</a> Image: Akemi Nomo,&nbsp;LifeTime ( 人间，人間 )Photo credit: Industry of the Ordinary

Industry of the Ordinary Summer Residency 2025 Exhibition 

Oliva Gallery invites you to experience Holding Space, a group exhibition featuring artists Jan Nakao, Laurie LeBreton, and Macus Alonso. Each artist approaches their work as a form of care, reflection, and experimentation in holding space for complex emotions and cultural memory.The exhibition brings together painting, sculpture, and installation to ask how we process what we carry, and how materials help us release, remember, or transform. Rooted in each artist’s distinct background, Holding Space centers process over polish and meaning over spectacle.Jan Nakao: Painting from the Unconscious Jan Nakao, trained as a Jungian psychoanalyst, creates paintings guided by images from the collective unconscious. Her practice draws from decades of work in the field of psychological trauma and is shaped by intuition and the internalized “third hand”. The result is a body of abstract work rich with emotional depth and symbolic resonance. Nakao holds a Diplomate in Jungian Analysis from the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago (2005) and degrees from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Champaign-Urbana.Laurie LeBreton: Sculptural Forms of Renewal Working with handmade paper and natural materials, Laurie LeBreton constructs large-scale installations that reference ritual garments, natural growth, and inner transformation. Her sculptural work operates in the space between delicacy and resilience. These forms test the boundaries of material and meaning, offering viewers meditative entry points into the emotional and spiritual dimensions of healing.Macus Alonso: Geometry, Body, and Cultural Memory Macus Alonso’s geometric abstractions investigate structure, rhythm, and movement through color and form. A central theme in Alonso’s practice is the relationship between the body and spatial construction, drawn from multicultural influences and grounded in personal narrative. Her use of layered paint and structural patterning encourages a dialogue between spiritual exploration and material experimentation.About Oliva GalleryOliva Gallery is dedicated to showcasing exceptional work by contemporary artists with roots inthe Midwest and beyond. Through exhibitions spanning painting, sculpture, and mixed media,the gallery fosters critical dialogue, interdisciplinary exploration, and inclusive culturalengagement.

The annual exhibition highlights paintings, drawings, photography, ceramics, prints, animation, and multimedia work by young artists participating in&nbsp;Hyde Park Art Center’s Teen programs. Each year, Teen programs provide a structured independence that encourages young artists to develop their creative voices, learn new skills, and build relationships in the context of a community art center, where artists of all ages and backgrounds do the same. The exhibition is a testament to these young artists’ evolution and dedication. They have taken on the challenge of expressing perplexed thoughts, feelings, and emotions into individual works of art.&nbsp; So, What Now?&nbsp;is curated by Jules DiGregorio, Exhibitions and Residency Intern, with support from Harley Reid, Teen Programs Coordinator, and Tran Tran, Exhibitions &amp; Residency Manager.&nbsp; Image:&nbsp;Devin Carrillo,&nbsp;She saw me once,&nbsp;2025, Acrylic paint, oil pastel on canvas, 12 x 12 inches

So, What Now?

You may have noticed a sign for the Jane Addams Research Center next to the deep red exterior of a two-storey building along Main Street in St. Joseph. This quiet organization was founded by scholars Michael R. Hill and his late life-partner Mary Jo Deegan. Its focus on the historic sociologist, settlement leader, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams and her influential network of male and female colleagues has taken many forms, including an expansive collection of artworks resulting from the expertise, training, and inspiration of the art school at the Hull-House social settlement in Chicago (Hull commemorates the name of the home’s original owner). The Hull-House Art School, established by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr, with Enella Benedict as its first director, provided classes and studio space for youngsters and adults alike from 1893 onward to the 1960s. It was an important, but underappreciated, cultural phenomenon in Chicago. In this exhibition, artworks range from functional to fine art and include commemorative medallions, artist-illustrated books and calendars, novels, jewelry, metalwork, fabrics, ceramics, prints, maps, drawings, and paintings. These works — from the late eighteenth to the mid-twentieth century — represent the deep impact contributed by a community art center and highlight the affiliated artists who made them.&nbsp;While some are little known, several artists in the exhibition are prominent in Chicago collections (including the Art Institute of Chicago) and are found in museums, homes, and other repositories throughout the United States. Michael R. Hill has curated the exhibit and is preparing an exhibition catalog. Dr. Hill has served as a docent at the Krasl Art Center and is an astute interdisciplinary scholar who is ever learning and engaging with the arts of Chicago and Southwest Michigan. <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://krasl.org/event/hull-house-exhibition/" target="_blank">Details</a>

The Golden Triangle is proud to present The Future Past: Indian Art Deco 1925-1950 - the first-ever American exhibition of Indian Art Deco furniture. Celebrated for its bold geometry, rich materials, and modern elegance, Art Deco was the world's first global style, debuting at the 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs. In India, this radical aesthetic fused with tropical influences to create a uniquely "Asian Art Deco" language. Unlike European Art Deco, which relied on wood veneers, Indian artisans built with solid hardwood, giving each piece both strength and tactile allure.

Modern Vintage Chicago

Impressionist artist Gustave Caillebotte (1848–1894)—known and beloved by many Art Institute visitors for his monumental painting&nbsp;Paris Street; Rainy Day—takes center stage in this major exhibition exploring the very personal interests and relationships that shaped his world. Caillebotte was unique among his Impressionist peers. At a time when modernity was synonymous with fashionable young women and new forms of entertainment, he focused instead on a more intimate and individualized sphere: his family and friends, his fellow sportsmen, the bourgeois pedestrians strolling in his neighborhood, and the workers who came to his house or whom he observed in the street. Despite being born into the wealth built by his father, Caillebotte resisted the idleness associated with the leisured class. He was not only an active member of the Impressionist group but also participated in several activities as a high-level amateur, including rowing, gardening, and sailing. In all of his pursuits, Caillebotte gave his all, taking on the role of leader, organizer, and sometimes financier; he also captured these passions in paint, whether documenting the toil of boating, the serenity of tending a plant, or the concentration of a card game. Caillebotte was equally invested in his personal relationships, both familial and non-familial—and again these relationships, especially with the males he interacted with as son, brother, employer, colleague, and friend—are the focus of many of his artworks. One sees in multiple paintings his two brothers and other family members as well as a wide circle of friends, often depicted in Caillebotte’s own home—in a favorite chair, by a recognizable window, or on an often-portrayed sofa. Most intimately, and most unusually for the time, Caillebotte also painted nude men in the privacy of their bath.&nbsp; This exhibition, which opened at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris in October 2024, includes more than 120 works—paintings, works on paper, photographs, and other ephemera from throughout Caillebotte’s career. In addition to recognizable works like&nbsp;Floor Scrapers&nbsp;and the Art Institute’s&nbsp;Paris Street; Rainy Day,&nbsp;the show presents lesser-known but pivotal works like the Musée d’Orsay’s recent acquisition,&nbsp;Boating Party, and the Louvre Abu-Dhabi’s&nbsp;The Bezique Game, as well as many works from private collections that are rarely seen by American audiences.&nbsp; Together, these works open a new window onto Caillebotte—as a complex figure with many interests, as an Impressionist who painted like no other Impressionist, and as an artist who captured his own, very distinct Paris.
