Climate change, losing control of our bodies, and war are just a few of our daily realities. Artists may walk into their studio and question their choice to create, if doing so even has meaning at all.</p> <p>Radical Joy is the act nurturing one’s own happiness, it can be used as the greatest combatant against global uncertainty. This kind of joy is not dependent on outside forces but is within us and within our control. When expressed, it can help us create a change and inspire others to do the same.</p> <p>When the world is on fire, painting is an act of Radical Joy.</p> <p>RADICAL JOY is an exhibition of six Chicago painters curated by another Chicago painter, Kailyn Perry. The pieces included examine the radical joy we can find in creating artwork, and the conclusions we come to in the process. The show includes work from: Nicole Rey Alderson, Meghan Borah, Mel Cook, Flor Flores, Madelyn Turner-Havens, and Patrick Wilkins.</p> <p>Kailyn Perry was born and raised in Massachusetts. She received a BFA in Art History and Painting from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2013. She attended The London Summer Intensive, an artist residency at Slade School of Fine Art at University College London in 2018. Her work has been exhibited at many Chicago galleries- most recently Belong Gallery<br /> and Cleaner Gallery. Kailyn has also shown at the Camden Arts Centre in London, The Neon Heater in Findlay, Ohio, and at a pop up exhibition featuring the Chicago Imagists at 56 Downing St Brooklyn NY. Kailyn’s work has been reviewed in The Chicago Tribune, ArtNet, Artsy, Art News, and NewCity.</p> <p>Nicole Rey Alderson is a Chicago-based painter working primarily in watercolor and oil paint. Through her intuitive approach, Nicole creates works that build layers of self-reflection, emotion, and memory, inviting the viewer into an intimate journey of self-discovery and offering them the opportunity to embark on their own journey of interpretation and meaning. Nicole’s work is deeply process-driven, exploring the concept of projective psychology, where each story is encouraged to reveal itself and evolve organically. Nicole has an MFA in painting and sculpture from Indiana University and an MS in Clinical Anaplastology from Johns Hopkins University. Her artistic practice provides a counterbalance to her hyper-realistic clinical work, offering a space for discovery and introspection. The resulting paintings act as a visual diary—an autobiographical expression where the personal and psychological merge.</p> <p>Meghan Borah is a painter and educator based in Chicago. Borah received an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from the painting and drawing department in 2017. She is currently represented by Galleri Urbane (Dallas) and Goldfinch Gallery (Chicago). Her work has been featured in Patron Magazine, Chicago Magazine, Time Out Chicago, New American Paintings, and ArtSlant. She has been the recipient of numerous artist residency programs, including the Vermont Student Center in 2018, and is the current Artist in Residence at Esmé (Chicago).</p> <p>Mel Cook is a visual artist currently living and working in Chicago, Illinois. She has previously taught at Illinois State University and Illinois Central College and currently teaches at Marwen in Chicago, Illinois. Her work has been featured in Art in Print, Studio Visit magazine, and most recently in New American Paintings, Midwest ed. No 125. In 2016 she was a participant in The<br /> Center Program at Hyde Park Art Center and a resident at Skowhegan School of Painting Sculpture in 2016 and ACRE in 2017. Most recently her work has been exhibited at Left Field Slo, in San Luis Obispo, California, Andrew Rafacz Gallery, The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art, Condo Association, and Roots & Culture in Chicago, The Riverside Arts Center in Riverside, Illinois, and The Chicago Show, in Brooklyn, New York.</p> <p>Flor Flores is a transdisciplinary artist & poet. Their works are proposals for queer belongings & new modes of expressing & relating to one another. Some themes & subjects in their works are: Flowers as a stand-in for myself (Flor); Kiki, a queer monarch butterfly that loves the discotheque–Kiki is also a framework for collaborations, Kiki is also now an experimental<br /> publishing project; “X” an Epic poem about the letter X, as in Latinx & its other uses as a gesture of erasure, inclusion, voidance, & as a placeholder for a language that is yet to come. Flor has had recent “Solo” exhibitions at Everybody Gallery, Chicago Artists Coalition, ADDS DONNA, BAR4000. They have been featured in reviews and publications such as Artmaze, Sixty Inches From Center, New American Paintings, Newcity Art, Chicago Artist Writers, and Monsters & Dust.</p> <p>Madelyn Havens is a figurative painter based in Illinois. She has a BA in studio art, and is currently pursuing an MFA degree with Illinois State University. She is interested in the physical and affective experiences with the body. Her paintings have been featured in publications and galleries such as Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, IL, the Borzello Gallery in Galesburg, IL, the Figge Art Museum in Davenport, IA, the Catich Gallery at St. Ambrose University, IA, and New American Paintings.</p> <p>Patrick Wilkins was born in Wiesbaden, Germany and grew up in Elkhart, Indiana. He earned his BA from Purdue University and his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He has worked as a Butcher, a Glass Repairer, a Construction Worker, and a Dog Walker, among many other jobs that he looks back on with varying degrees of fondness. He currently lives and works in Chicago.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2024/11/radical-joy-artist-talk/">Radical Joy: Artist Talk</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://thevisualist.org/2024/11/radical-joy-artist-talk/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">168775</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Heaven Gallery Annual Benefit 2023: Becoming!</title> <link>https://thevisualist.org/2023/11/heaven-gallery-annual-benefit-2023-becoming-2/</link> <comments>https://thevisualist.org/2023/11/heaven-gallery-annual-benefit-2023-becoming-2/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[flor123]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 05 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Fundraiser]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Andi Crist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Aya Nakamura]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Chicago]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Edra Soto]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Eileen Mueller]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Haerim Lee]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Heaven Gallery]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Heaven Gallery Annual Benefit 2023: Becoming!]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jan Brugger]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kailyn Perry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mack Baker]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marc Benja]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Maria Burundarena]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MEGAN DIDDIE]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mel Cook]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sara Noamark]]></category> <category><![CDATA[West Town]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thevisualist.org/?p=151572</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Join Heaven Gallery on November 4th from 7PM-12AM for a night filled with dancing, food, drinks, art auction, and raffle prizes at our 23rd Anniversary Benefit!

In conjunction with its community development project Equity Arts, the gallery stands as a beacon for system change. In many ways, Heaven’s journey to “Becoming” mirrors the story of David and Goliath: an underdog that resisted the forces of gentrification and continues to rise up against seemingly insurmountable odds. Heaven Gallery remains a platform for Chicago artists citywide and is “Becoming” a new operating model that harnesses the power of the creative economy.</p> <p>Heaven Gallery’s Annual Benefit will commemorate over two decades of evolution, reinvention, and transformation: Join us on Saturday, November 4th from 7PM-12AM to celebrate Heaven’s ongoing commitment to Chicago artists. The “Becoming” Benefit will bring the art community together for an art auction, and raffle prizes that are not to be missed! Transcend through movement on the dance floor featuring music by DJ Cordell Johnson from Excursions and Rae Chardonnay from Party Noire.

On an old Native American trail known as Milwaukee Ave., is where for the past 18 years, Heaven has supported the arts and cultivated community. As developers invade our city and seek to erase us we will unite to create a community land trust to protect our cultural equity. On this day we identify with the miraculous victory of indigenous Mexicans Benito Juárez and General Zaragoza over Napoleon III who attempted to carve his empire out of Mexican territory. On this historical evening we call on the spirit of our ancestors to help us win our fight.</p> <p>Latinx Nation combines the celebration of non-binary, gender fluid people from all Latin cultures.

The exhibition continues through Saturday, February 24, 2018.</p> <p>Winter Romance focuses on notions of romance, or the Romantic, and what it means to make art in a dark time.<br /> Amidst the gloom and cold of the winter months, how can one harness hope and affection within isolation? Exploring an array of responses to this question, the works in Winter Romance employ wit and mystery within a range of diverse material considerations. Using romance as a means of comfort, affection, and companionship these artists present the different levels of romanticism in art making. Winter Romance explores dreamy spaces, warm gestures, and intentionality as a trenchant rebuttal to the dreary winter in Chicago.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2018/01/winter-romance/">Winter Romance</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://thevisualist.org/2018/01/winter-romance/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">76779</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Spoiled Beauty</title> <link>https://thevisualist.org/2017/11/spoiled-beauty/</link> <comments>https://thevisualist.org/2017/11/spoiled-beauty/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Meg Duguid]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 17 Nov 2017 00:00:01 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Exhibition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Reception]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Aviv Benn]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Caleb Beck]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Chicago]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Eric Stefanski]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kailyn Perry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kenneth Heyne]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lower West Side]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Patrick Wilkins]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rover]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spoiled Beauty]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thevisualist.org/?p=74820</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Little did they know, your split melon is sprouting mold from the back of the fridge.

Kailyn Perry’s paintings are existential studies packed with painterly effects and layered with meaning, albeit elusive. Playful shapes that emphasize pattern in planar forms commingle with scenes of ordinary life tinged with humor. Anwar Mahdi’s practice centers around drawing on existing mythologies, folklore, and supernatural elements throughout cultures and fusing them with events in his life. Anwar’s recurring themes include the female vs the male, hyper-violence, and weaponizing both sexual energy and tropes of power to cope with the trauma of abuse.</p> <p>Enter through gate to side alley and up back porch to 3rd floor.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2017/08/desperate-and-divine/">Desperate and Divine</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://thevisualist.org/2017/08/desperate-and-divine/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">70535</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Kailyn Perry: Post-Control</title> <link>https://thevisualist.org/2017/03/kailyn-perry-post-control/</link> <comments>https://thevisualist.org/2017/03/kailyn-perry-post-control/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Meg Duguid]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 24 Mar 2017 05:00:01 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Exhibition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Reception]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Chicago]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Friendzone Window]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kailyn Perry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Logan Square]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Post-Control]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thevisualist.org/?p=66222</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Friendzone is proud to present “Post-Control”, a solo exhibition by Kailyn Perry.

Join us at the studios for a reception from 6pm-9pm and get your picture taken inside this multi-sensory, multi-dimensional installation.</p> <p>Kailyn Perry’s paintings depict spaces and planes where figures and objects intersect with landscapes to create planes of dimension that fight for visual attention–each element carrying its own weight, pushing and pulling the viewer’s perspective in and out of focus. These fragmented scenes reference the fragility of memory–wisps of memories are framed with exaggerated color and chunks of somewhat recognizable shapes. Moments of familiarity end abruptly with abstract textures, shapes and patterns.</p> <p>Kailyn Perry is an artist currently living in Chicago IL and works with Autotelic Studios. She received a BFA in Painting and Art History from Massachusetts College of Art and Design.</p> <p>Traci Fowler weaves personal narrative with social treatises to connect impulse and awareness. She focuses on issues of class structure, gender regulations, and the ways in which these discourses both challenge and strengthen one another. She’s interested in how tropes of social consciousness can be potentially exclusive and works to eradicate these exclusions. Her work is inclusionary, yet smart. She is clever in her small-scale installations, and sets up visual Venn diagrams in which multiple disparate parts (be they family heirlooms, unpaid bills or domestic artifice) maintain individuality, yet simultaneously meet in the middle.</p> <p>Traci Fowler (b. 1991) Lives and works in Chicago, IL. She currently attends Columbia College Chicago and will receive her BFA in December 2014. Along with her partner, Trevor Schmutz, Traci operates a gallery in the kitchen of their apartment. Kitchen Space opened in April of 2014 and operates as a project space for artists to either adapt their work for the setting or create work in reaction to the site.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2014/10/kailyn-perry-traci-fowler-observable-methods/">Kailyn Perry & Traci Fowler: Observable Methods</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://thevisualist.org/2014/10/kailyn-perry-traci-fowler-observable-methods/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">46402</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
