Wondergems

Lloyd Dobler Gallery is pleased to continue the fall art season with the opening of Wondergems, a group show featuring a range of medium. Wondergems features eleven artists, with three based outside of the Chicago community. An opening reception is scheduled for November 17th from 6-10pm. This exhibition focuses on works created with a sophisticated innocence. The work is seemingly straight forward with an air of the fictional mixed in. The simplicity that is so accurately portrayed in all the work acts as a facade,drawing the viewer in somewhat, but not giving them too much to ponder right away. It is only after they have considered the work, or even have made a second round in the gallery, that they can appreciate the work on a deeper level, thinking about each artist as an individual and appreciating the other world the artist has created with the work. One can then look at the works in the space and start to narrate their own story, bringing in each of the works separately.
