Gwendolyn Zabicki: Night Paintings
@ Art on Armitage
4125 W. Armitage Ave, Chicago 60639
Opening Saturday, November 30th, from 5PM - 5PM
On view through Monday, December 30th
During the month of December, ART ON ARMITAGE window gallery will present a series of paintings by Gwendolyn Zabicki titled, Night Paintings. Zabicki spent several months making oil paintings outside at night in her neighborhood of Logan Square. These were quick, small paintings inspired by the Bosnian-American novelist Aleksandar Hemon. He wrote that Chicago “was built not for people to come together, but for them to be safely apart.” He argued that in an attempt to build individual freedom, privacy, and independence into the urban landscape, the city’s planning and architecture instead reinforce loneliness and isolation. We can see evidence of life happening around us, but feel shut out of the private lives of others. Her work takes what is briefly glimpsed as its subject, hinting at the lives of others who will remain forever unknown to us.
