Fassbender Gallery is pleased to present new paintings by Kimberly Piotrowski in the gallery’s Project Room. With a love for the suggestiveness of shapes, this Chicago artist dumbs down and abstracts the recognizable and universally organic in nature. However, she doesn’t only delete the identifying marks of things, Piotrowski also builds out of whole cloth completely new realms of life and mortality. In bright and candied colors, she gives us technicolor cartoons straight out of Grey’s Anatomy. Looking to medical texts and autopsy photographs for inspiration, this artist’s day-glo morbidity makes us uncomfortable with our own squishiness. She reminds us of what it means to be alive and slowly falling apart. View Herbert George Exhibition Click here to preview Upcoming Exhibitions
