Joe Forte: AMERICAN WALLPAPER

@ ARC Gallery

1463 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60642

Opening Friday, June 7th, from 5PM - 8PM

On view through Friday, June 28th

AMERICAN WALLPAPER is a theme I’ve returned to frequently with a sensibility for the street. These pieces are loud, bawdy, random, obnoxious, sophisticated, funny, color-coordinated, witty, nonsensical, random, beautiful, lush and highly structured — and intended to blur the line between ridicule and worship of the culture itself — repurposed and reimagined as billboards, travel posters, record covers, bus kiosk, religious objects, a newsstand, baseball cards and periodicals — the-here-and-gone totems of our world, the ephemera of our lives.
