Chicago Exhibition




I wanted to share -

'Looking To Be Looked At'

at the Zolla/Lieberman Gallery, Chicago
July 14 - August 25, 2006

featuring 3 women figurative artists - Heather Becker, Kimberly Dow & Susan Block.

Sponsored by Bentley Motors.

This show is for the most part nudes, so I won't post examples here. I will have 6 or 7 pieces in the show. It should be interesting since out of the 3 artists, my work is the only realism.

Miss Dow,
Dang, I should so have liked to see an abstract nude
Good luck with the show,
Allan

Hey Kim,

If you get an opportunity to get a good deal on one of those Bentley cars keep me in mind. My old Jeep is beginning to feel it's age. Something around $8-9,000 might fit.

Sounds like a nice opportunity for you. How'd you get so far as the windy city?

Thanks Allen. You know, 'abstract' wouldnt be the right description for their work, Im not exactly sure what would be. They are recognizable as nudes though...so I dont want Cynthia to ground me by posting any.

Mike, I will keep you in mind for one of those. Just not sure what you'd want with such a cheap machine.

I ended up there totally by chance. I sent slides out to a few galleries in different areas of the US. This was the only one in Chicago. They called me the day they received my slides, thinking my work would fit this show they had planned. They told me in 30 years they have never called an artist who sent slides cold.

#1 pick!

Kim,
After seeing your beautiful work on this Forum as well as at my art school hangout...Scottsdale Art School...YOU WIN!!!

I do not believe that people come into galleries to look at art and think that they LOVE abstract anything............ (How naive am I?) I think they need some kind of mind control.......Your paintings are beautiful. If they are bypassed, viewers are brain dead.

Go, Girl!
PS

Kim! Oh I am so proud of you. I hope every single one sells.

Big congratulations (and I hope somebody takes lots of photos of the show)!
