Good Fences Make Good Neighbors - Art Show with Sonnenzimmer & Anders Nilsen

[Nadine Y. Nakanishi]

Hi Guys,
if you're in Chicago or wanna check some paintings out online that we've done over the last couple of months together with Anders Nilsen, this Friday we are have an opening. Paintings will be available online over the gallery's site after the show opening.

Collaborative paintings by Anders Nilsen and Sonnenzimmer

at Fill in the Blank Gallery
5038 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago IL
www.fillintheblankgallery.com

Gallery Hours:
after May 20: Tuesday-Friday: 4pm-8pm
Saturday: 12pm-4pm | Sunday & Monday: CLOSED

ON VIEW May 20 - July 2 2011
Opening Reception this Friday, May 20, from 7-11pm

Good Fences Make Good Neighbors is collaborative painting exhibit by Chicago based comic artist, Anders Nilsen, and local abstractionists, Sonnenzimmer. For the exhibit, Nadine Nakanishi and Nick Butcher of Sonnenzimmer have created a series of abstract landscape paintings to which Nilsen has added his own idiosyncratic and spare line work. Merging disparate mediums and styles, these collaborative works produce a graphic language all their own, one completely unique to the exhibit.

Both Sonnenzimmer and Nilsen have a strong history of self-publishing, Nilsen through his comics and zines and Sonnenzimmer through their posters and books. The accessibility and immediacy of such efforts inform these mixed media pieces, creating an inviting, engaging and playful collection of images and brief narratives.

This show is going to look amazing. Really bummed I am missing the opening by being out of town, but I'm definitely going to make it to the gallery the following week to see the awesomeness.
