    This painting exhibition focuses on contemporary practices in abstraction: explorations in form, material, and color, and the construction/de-construction of space through visual language. Participating Chicago artists include, Samantha Bittman, Michelle Bolinger, and Anna Kunz.

    Samantha Bittman creates textiles as the unconventional canvas for her paintings, employing strict geometric optics with the organic nature of the hand-woven. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute, 2010. Her work has been widely exhibited, most recently at Andrew Rafacz Gallery, Chicago, and Greenpoint Terminal Gallery, Brooklyn, NY.

    Michelle Bolinger creates painted abstractions of her observations of space and landscape creating playful layers of color and shape. She received her MFA from University of Washington, Seattle, 2005.Her work has been widely exhibited most recently at Lloyd Dobler Gallery, Chicago, and Francine Seders Gallery, Seattle, WA.

    Anna Kunz makes works on paper, paintings, sculptures, installations and projects that seep out of the rectangle, often using painted and dyed fabrics to capture and manipulate light and color. Her work has been included in numerous national and international exhibitions, most recently at Terrain Projects, Oak Park, IL, and Munch Gallery, New York. She received her MFA from Northwestern University in 2000.
