Alicia LaChance: New Village
@ Addington Gallery
704 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60654
Opening Friday, November 5th, from 5PM - 8PM
On view through Saturday, December 18th
Alicia LaChance makes large scale, process driven paintings built up through layers of acrylic, casein, latex and spray paint on a fresco-secco ground over canvas. Her mark-making involves traditional brushwork, sign maker’s techniques, silk screen, taping, powdered pigment stains, scraping and sanding. LaChance’s work conveys a layering and compression of multicultural traditions and art historical references, from ancient folk traditions to street art. Her highly worked paintings often use open source graphs as a compositional map and armature to hang intellectual ideas from as they relate to pushing boundaries in abstraction and process.
