Beyond Whimsy–Painting and Drawings
Work by Clare Rosean and Diana Solis

Show opening and artists’ reception
August 5
6 – 10pm
Chicago Art District’s 2nd Friday
August 12
6 – 10pm
Brainforest Gallery presents an opening and artists’ reception for work of two Chicago painters and illustrators.
Clare Rosean is currently working toward her Master’s in Fine Art from the University of Chicago. Her whimsical paintings and drawings tell stories with a deeper meaning than seen at first glance. The painting series The Bad Kid, is an old-fashioned moralistic tale; a plea for order and an order to beware. And Clare’s more recent pen and ink series, After the Bomb, plumbs the anxiety of a city devastated after an enormous bomb.
Diana Solis is a long-time Chicago resident, visual artist and art educator whose work has been a included in countless solo and group shows both nationally and internationally. Diana works primarily on paper using acrylic medium and drawing. Her work blurs the lines between humans and nature–imaginary hybrids in a constant state of change.
This show will remain open through the month of August, with a second opening on August 12th as a part of the Chicago Arts District’s 2nd Friday event. Join us for both shows to meet the artists and on August 12th to visit other open studios in the historic Pilsen Neighborhood.
