Erik Jon Olson: What. A. WASTE

@ ShadowBoxX Gallery

116 Washington St, Waukegan, IL 60085

Opening Saturday, April 18th, from 5PM - 9PM

On view through Saturday, May 9th

This solo show highlights the work of independent artist Erik Jon Olson. His vivid large-scale works are made of quilted plastic waste, and cast a fresh eye on environmental concerns and how unfettered capitalism and mass consumption waste our natural resources and damages our society.

Olson’s artwork is uplifting, with beautifully colorful and masterfully executed pieces. He even reuses the scrap from his own creative process to achieve zero material waste.
