Marcus Bacerra: Seeing Stars
@ Parlour and Ramp
2130 W 21st St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Friday, August 16th, from 7PM - 10PM
On view through Friday, September 13th
Marcus Bacerra’s work consists of playful meditations and deep internal explorations. His nonobjective, mixed media drawings are ambiguous in subject and place emphasis on repetitive rituals. These minimal yet enchanting abstractions play into nostalgia, psychedelia, and shamanistic practices creating images that gently hypnotize and encourage introspection.
In a constant attempt at alleviation and focus on catharsis, Bacerra’s work finds peace in repetition. The continuous mark-making, in its shameless approach, finds strength in the act of creation. While rooted in spirituality, these intuitive compositions remain nondenominational. Exploration of divinity is challenged with playful and innocent marks on paper. In Seeing Stars, Marcus Bacerra’s work displays an ongoing exploration of existence – a continuous contemplation of spirit.
