Making the ‘grade ~ Tardigrade-Inspired Paintings by Chicago Artist and Environmental Encroachment Bandmember, Robert J. Soller, a different kind of artist. Creative, out-spoken, particular, fastidious, perfectionist. His work reflects all these characteristics and so much more.

Rob’s Tardigrade-Inspired Painting Exhibition @TimelessArtsChicago is made up of tardigrade caricatures of some of your most memorable Hollywood characters like “The Tardinator” a humorous rendition of Former Mr. Olympia and world renown “actor”, not to mention former California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Blockbuster Hit Movie from 1984, Terminator.

Plus, 40+ other renditions including Get Schwifty (Taylor Swift), Elvis Presley, James Brown, Evil Knievel, Mr. T, Metal Godz, Godzilla (Tardzilla), and many more. Kids of all ages DIG Tardigrades! You can also see a 20-FOOT TALL Tardigrade at The Field Museum Exhibit going on right now.

This Closing Reception is also an opportunity to raise funds for your Chicago Public or Private School. When you make any purchase, anytime, at Timeless Arts Gallery & Studio, we’ll donate 10% of the proceeds to the school of your choice, or you can also choose to direct the donation to The Chicago Cat Rescue or The Chicago Canine Rescue or ChiTown Pitties. Let us know where you want your donation to go. We love helping out the kids and those caring souls who help helpless animals in need. THANKS for your support.

Timeless Arts Gallery & Studio is located at 3040 N. Ashland Ave., bordering 2 of Chicago’s famous Northside Neighborhoods, West Lakeview / Roscoe Village. We’re also directly across the street from what the Chicago Tribune calls the Best Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago, The Art of Pizza! Come for the art, Stay for the food!

Light refreshments will be served, and since this is Chicago, you can also B.Y.O.B. Please be 21 & over and drink responsibly. Thanks!

See you this Saturday.
