JUSTIN HENRY MILLER “RUOK”

@ Zg Gallery

300 W Superior St, Chicago, IL 60654

Opening Friday, November 6th, from 5PM - 7:30PM

On view through Tuesday, December 1st

This exhibition continues to explore a dystopic world paralleling our own. The characters inhabiting it are assemblages made from disparate components and byproducts, resulting in a balancing act between whimsy and warning. Layers of tattoo, dermis, graffiti and detritus combine to complicate these portraits and ask the viewer to consider what is the character’s true self. RUOK, or “Are you ok?”, is one of numerous text short-hands tattooed throughout this series of works. In the context of this show, this phrase maneuvers away from a question of concern, to an assumption of downfall.
