Marcelo Eli: Earthquake Closing
@ Blanc Gallery
4445 S King Dr, Chicago, Illinois 60653
Opening Friday, June 16th, from 7PM - 10PM
Earthquake explores the idea of social tensions and divisions eliciting society to retract to a primeval ideology. Manifesting Paleolithic Contemporary hybrids. The paintings portray nature and identity while communicating universal truths indirectly. Through evaluation of creation and destruction, the works focus on revamping preconceptions of ourselves and painting.
