Cleveland Dean

Works were on display in Gallery@220 in Pop Up Galleries:
I found that most of his works were made with the only color black. But it didn't make the paintings boring, they were still interesting because his use of different layers, and his arrangement of the positive and negative spaces in his works. I think these skills are important for me to learn to use in my own paintings. Also he is impressing himself in his artworks in a direct way that easy for the viewrs to understand.

Not Quite Perfect

Cleveland Dean is a 37-year-old male artist from Chicago. He has learned to live his life through the course bristles of a brush. Cultured on the south side of the City of Chicago he soon saw the influences of other sections of his home and encompassed them within himself. Always having an affinity with artistic expression he dabbled in many forms of art including drawing, songwriting, poetry, spoken word to name a few.

“My work is that which bridges the unconscious and conscious; painted in depictions abstracted from my psyche. This can only be done by stepping outside my self-sanctuary and embracing that which exists deep within my soul."
--Cleveland Dean, Artist

Richard Shipps


Works were on display in Gallery@220 in Pop Up Galleries:
I was interested in his works because they were all envolved in three-dimensional forms. I think that was really hard to make a piece of work looks great in both 2-D and 3-D views. I liked how he carved in his works and played with the shadows made by the patterns he carved.

Chicago artist Richard Shipps explores the ambiguity of form, shape, tone and movement through drawings, sculpture, mobiles and cut paper. His work examines the dynamic tensions between light and shadow and the interplay of negative and positive form. His focus is on the push and pull -- juxtaposition and synergy of image.

Carol Bove




Works were on displayed in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago:
She is the author of the peacock feather painting. I liked that painting very much because I think she was so unique that she chose the peacock feathers as the materials. The painting turned out so amazing... I think it's imprtant for artists to choose the materials for artworks, they will be one of the keypoints to a perfect composition. Also after knew her concept of the painting I found that she was good at showing her concepts to the viewers and keeping on the original concepts.
