“Still Open,” exhibition of new ink paintings by Emily Rapport, features local musicians Gary Camaro and RB Green this August
Still Open, an exhibition of works on paper by Emily Rapport, continues a theme of interest for the artist; neighborhood scenes and portraits of Chicago’s changing urban landscape. Her typically vibrant oil painting palette is restricted to moody earth tones of black, grey, brown and sepia inks. These small scale works on paper have a documentarians eye for detail but seem to find elasticity in the moment rather than rigid perfection. On view through August 14, 2021.
