Still Open: Ink Paintings by Emily Rapport, opening reception

You are invited to visit Eat Paint Studio this Saturday, July 10, 1-6PM, for the re-opening of our gallery and the opening reception for "Still Open," a series of 24 new ink paintings on paper by local artist Emily Rapport. You can also preview the show on Friday from 12 - 5PM. The exhibit will be on view through August 14.

"Still Open," explores a familiar subject for Rapport - neighborhood scenes and portraits of a changing urban landscape. Her typically vibrant painting palette is restricted to monochromatic earth tones of black, grey, brown and sepia and feature down-at-the-heel homes, corner stores, vacant lots, and construction sites from the near North side neighborhoods of Lincoln Square, Ravenswood and Bowmanville.

These paintings are like short stories; each narrative contributes to a larger sense of the current American landscape. Regular gallery hours resume this week, they are: Friday and Saturday, 12 - 5PM and by appointment.
