See a Live Painting Performance by Award-Winning Chicago Artist at Exhibition Opening
Watch photo-surrealist artist Jason Brammer paint live on Saturday, May 9, 2009 during the opening reception for his forthcoming solo exhibition, "Into the After", at Star Lounge in Chicago, IL. This painting exhibition will be up for viewing through Tuesday, June 30, 2009.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 29, 2009 -- "Into The After", a new exhibition at Star Lounge by Chicago painter Jason Brammer, will feature a collection of photo-surrealist, mixed media paintings from his "Time Machines" series. According to Brammer, his "Time Machines" depicts "visions of the future or of the future intervening in the past". Many of the paintings in this series have hardware and other objects attached that he has aged to feel as if they were a century old. In particular, these "machines" are made to look as if they were from 1901, which was the peak of the Art Nouveau movement (1890-1910). This Art Nouveau influence is felt in some of the pieces as the sinuous line work of the cables swirls into action, escorting the viewer into another dimension of time. Brammer creates these sculptural paintings by seamlessly incorporating found objects, antique hardware, tubing, and constructed wood pieces into his works on canvas.
