More Than A Pretty Picture
@ Rhona Hoffman Gallery
1711 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Friday, March 14th, from 5PM - 7PM
On view through Saturday, April 26th
More than a Pretty Picture is Rhona Hoffman Gallery’s final exhibition in their West Town space opening Friday, March 14th. This group show includes drawings, assemblage, sculpture, prints, and paintings by established artists Giovanni Anselmo, Susan Hefuna, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Sylvia Plimack Mangold, Martin Puryear, Edda Renouf, Richard Tuttle, and Gunter Umberg. This exhibition displays Gallerist Rhona Hoffman’s depth as a curator in its appreciation for the artist’s exploration of materiality, process, concept, and inquiry into the human condition.
The artists manifest their investigations into philosophical states of being and formal queries in their respective practices. They engage, reveal, and offer experiences of existential dualities: simplicity and complexity; visible and invisible; humble and divine. Ranging from Anselmo’s Verso Oltremare (Towards Overseas), a 500lb esoteric made of Italian piedmont granite, wire, and aquamarine paint to Tuttle’s quizzical lure to gaze upon the ordinary with wonder. These works engage both the intellect and intuition with weighty integrity, beauty, and ephemeral calm.
