GAIA: Resplendent Semblance

Maxwell Colette Gallery is pleased to announce GAIA: Resplendent Semblance, a solo show from the Baltimore based artist Gaia. The show will feature indoor and outdoor work in a variety of settings including a show of new, large scale paintings and decollage on wood art work at Maxwell Colette Gallery and a massive window installation at State Street and Adams presented in conjunction with The Chicago Loop Alliance's Pop Up Art Loop initiative.

The opening reception for GAIA:Resplendent Semblance is on Friday, March 25th from 6 - 9 pm in our space at 833 W. Chicago Ave, suite 200.  

Keep an eye on our Flickr and our Facebook page for further details and photos of the projects, the new work, and the installations.

Love Flows Both Ways: pop up show update

Recently our neighbors over at Time Out Chicago were kind enough to write about our pop up show 'Love Flows Both Ways'.  The Chiguide wrote about the show as well, as did Chicagoist who used our quote "Art is the new bling" as the title for their arts roundup piece.  Thanks for noticing!

And in other pop up related news, we spotted President Bill Clinton across the street from our space the other day. That's him waving in our blurry phone pic below.  Unfortunately he wasn't able to pop into the space for a browse.  Next time we are going to get him to come in and view the show.

Love Flows Both Ways: opening night

Mad thanks to everyone who turned out for the opening of our pop up show 'Love Flows Both Ways'.  We hope you had a great time and perhaps a little too much wine.  And a big shout to the staff at the Chicago Urban Art Society, without who's help we would have never been able to frame, wrap, transport and install over one hundred works in the short span of seven days.

In case you missed it: The Chicago Urban Art Society documented the installation of 'Love Flows Both Ways' and posted awesome pics of the process, the opening, and the art on their flickr.  And here are links to articles about the pop up opening on chicagoist, Flavorpill, and fotoflow.

'LOVE FLOWS BOTH WAYS: street culture x contemporary art' runs thru December 4th.  The show is located at 205 S. State Street (State and Adams) and is open Tuesday thru Sunday from 11:30 am until 5:30 pm.
