Lucy Slivinski

Lucy Slivinski is a Chicago based critically acclaimed sculpture, installation artist, and lighting designer who works with found materials to create conceptual work that inspires human connectivity. For over 30 years she has drawn upon ideas of recycling, regeneration and innovation. Her work seems at once challenging and inviting asking us to consider the materials to be more than objects of consumption and waste but, more importantly, tools that generate and encourage energetic, physical engagement. Through Slivinski’s inventive transformations we can see a natural order, rhythm and vibration, much like music, that transcends its utility into works that inspire us with new energy and hope for the future.

July 6th-September 26th, 2020 Art Exhibit

Haven Interiors Studio & Gallery (Geneva, Ill.) in partnership with gallery administration firm, Cultural Connection, will have an exhibit titled “Pure Visions” a collection of abstract photography printed on rice paper from photojournalist Laura Stoecker.

“23” x 71″ Triptych titled ‘Blue Mosaic'”

Laura Stoecker

Bio – Based in Kane County, Laura Stoecker is a photojournalist and portrait photographer with 25 years of experience in the field. This collection of abstract photography were taken adhering to strict photojournalism ethics. I create abstracts of reality in the purest form; their natural state. All images were created within the camera (not in photoshop) and the brilliant colors are true to life. These are honest documentations of nature and objects, seen with a photojournalistic eye and photographed in a fine art style. To me, life is already beautiful as it is, there is no or reason to digitally modify it.

Images in this collection range from extreme close-up studies of light, colors & patterns, to experimentations with my equipment creating unconventional imagery of nature & light. Some photographs are details of objects, other incorporate motion, some are aerial images while others are details from architecture across the world. If you’d like to know what a particular image is, I’ll tell you; otherwise I’ll let the mystery remain.

The photographs are printed on Japanese rice paper & hand mounted on clear, floating acrylic in-house. This display allows light to penetrate from the top and side, and when the light shines just right, they glow. Depending on where they are mounted and when sunshine hits them, the pieces can have an everchanging display throughout the daylight hours. Additionally, when displayed on light colored wall, the fibers in the rice paper blend in. They are fluid in their display and depending on how they are displayed, the owner can have an interactive experience with the artwork.

Ezra Siegel

Bio – Chicago-born artist, Ezra Siegel, comes from an artistic family. His father, Arthur Siegel, a world-renowned photographer and his mother, Irene Siegel, is a multi-media artist. At an early age, Ezra took an interest inn architecture. He graduated from Vasser College, majoring in Art History and Architecture. To copy the great master drawings in the Uffizi, he moved to Italy. He then lived in Portugal and Canada before returning to the Chicago area. As a self-trained artist, Ezra has spent many hours visiting museums and perusing art books. These various influences have informed Ezra’s art.

He has shown in New York, in one-man and in group exhibitions. He has also shown Internationally, both in group shows, such as Mae D’Agua, and in gallery representation. Ezra has won Best of show: Bayou City Art Festival Downtown 2016, art and Big Fork 2014, Lubeznik 2013/2019, Northbrook 2013, and has received recognition from numerous juries such as Illinois Arts Council and Art Loop Open. Ezra currently has Gallery representation in Michigan, Massachusetts, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Utah, Minnesota, and Illinois.

Artist Statement – I begin the canvas by preparing the surface with a homemade gesso ( a mixture of paint and plaster). This mixture allows me to control the degree of smoothness and absorbency of the paint surface. This is key to my technique which follows up with multiple layers of washes and thin paint (sometimes up to 30 layers). This allows me to create subtle and nuanced color and tone.

I’ve spent 30 years of exploring forms, shapes and paint surfaces to create something that is both simple and complex. The more time spent with m paintings, the more potential they have to stimulate the emotions and intellect of the viewer.
