The Soccer Club Club and Land and Sea Dept. are pleased to announce Warm Embrace, an upcoming solo exhibition with Chicago artist Stephen Eichhorn. This is the second installment of a two-part series of Eichhorn’s work throughout the month of November, which begins at EBERSMOORE in Chicago on November 2nd with their exhibition Death is Not Your Friend. The opening reception for Warm Embrace will be celebrated with a special performance by Al Cisneros and Robert AA Lowe of OM and a DJ set by Creatures of the Wind. The event is free and open to the public.

Eichhorn’s works stems from his ongoing fascination with the cult of plants, touching on sacred rituals and spaces with figurative, abstract and plant-based imagery. Chicago artist Stephen Eichhorn (b.1984) creates delicate hand-cut paper collages from photos of foliage—palm fronds, grasses, leaves and flowers. Quiet and poetic, Eichhorn’s work radiates a complex harmony between the natural and handmade world. His exhibition at the Soccer Club Club consists of of new collage, sculpture and textile works.
