We were able to stop by the <a href="http://marxsaunders.com/">Marx Saunders Gallery</a> and see the innovative work of glass artist Tim Tate. Tate was a favorite at Art Basel in Miami last year. His Video Reliquaries combine the art of glass with small digital videos. The current "Narratives" exhibit runs until tomorrow. MARX SAUNDERS GALLERY 230 West Superior Street Chicago, Illinois 312.573.1400 Gallery hours: Tuesday-Friday 10-5, Saturday 11-5 <a href="http://www.melaneecoopergallery.com/">Melanee Cooper Gallery</a> has the work of Alicia LaChance. Influenced by Japanese printmaking LaChance uses fresco on canvas, painting layers as well as scraping into these works. Transparent glazes of oil on the painting, create a lacquered surface which adds to the Asian references. M E L A N E E C O O P E R G A L L E R Y 740 North Franklin Chicago, Illinois 60610 312.202.9305 Fax 312.202.9307 Gallery hours: Tuesday-Thursday 10-5, Friday 10-6, Saturday 11-5 At <a href="http://www.artic.edu/">The Art Institute of Chicago </a>there is a jewel of a painting show with the work of James Bishop. "Bishop is an American artist who has lived in France since 1958. His exquisitely rendered, relatively rare drawings and paintings—which American poet and art critic John Ashbery once called “part air, part architecture”—combine European and American traditions of postwar art. His approach is marked by a poetic, reductionist tendency in which he creates form through color alone. Inflected by subtle shading relationships and a geometry that abandons the hard-edge abstraction used by many of his contemporaries, his work is grounded in the physical process of painting and in the interplay of color." -Art Institute of Chicago THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO / MUSUEM 111 South Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60603-6404 312.443.3600 Museum hours: Monday-Wednesday, Friday 10:30-5, Thurday 10:30-8, Saturday-Sunday 10-5 Warhol clouds can be found at the <a href="http://www.luc.edu/luma/">Loyola University Museum of Art (LUMA).</a>boxfotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17541319811611797800noreply@blogger.com
