art in the dark

RGB Lounge presents Ivan Garcia • Art in the Dark

As an exhibition of Abstract Surrealism, Garcia's art is animated by light and shadow breathing through the spectrum of RGB illumination. As an anti-gallery art show (anti-matter rather than against or opposed to) this production has been specifically designed to be viewed in a darkened environment. 

Ivan is a native of Mexico City and has resided in Chicago for six years. He began his artist's work in Chicago as part of the Flat Iron Artist's community in Wicker Park, and is a distinguished alumnus of that institution. He studied at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, in Mexico City and cites his influences as Wassily Kandynsky, Salvador Dali, Remedios Varo and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Garcia's curriculum vitae includes Art on Track '08 and '10, Chicago Loop Alliance's Pop Up Art Loop, as well as, group and solo shows at Quennect 4 and the Black Gate. He is currently an artist in residence at the Multi-Kulti creative use space in Chicago, Il.

Co-curated by RGB's Julie Braunstein and Stuart Hall of tag 2.0.

Opening reception Thursday, February 10, 1800 to 2100. Refreshments served.... music by The North (aka Snorre Sjønøst Henriksen)
