Not to get too over the top but if you’ve never seen a “Bollywood” movie, this programmer almost feels as if you’ve never experienced total cinema. Made in India, many of these movies are part of the “Masala” genre including AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY. Masala refers to the combination of spices used in much of Indian cooking. A little of this, a little of that and you get a rich delicious dish.

Current Mood Saturday, July 25, 2020 6:00pm - 9:00pm

-In Don’t Use Me, I’m Broken, I basically wanted to talk about the flaws, fails and challenges, unique to each individual, that make us interesting and complex beings. But since this exhibition was mainly created during the pandemic, it took a darker turn than my usual work.
-Max Sansing is a Chicago-based fine artist and one of the city’s most prolific and talented muralists. His distinct aesthetic fuses the color-drenched dynamism of street art with the technical elegance of photorealism.
- In Dovie’s latest exploration into the human spirit and experience, his life like portraits and menacing Fiends play a supporting role to the bold, angular shapes and arresting colors surrounding them.
- This new series of works for “Current Mood” started during the pre-Covid19 quarantine. The original painting that inspired this direction was based on an experience the artist had as a child.
