_______________

Justin Bushman  |  justinbushman@yahoo.com
I am a conduit for outer forces that infect me vicariously. This work is the physical representation of the images I see in the dark recesses of my mind.

_______________________

Andrew Hannigan  |  me@andrewhannigan.com
I work with images of heroes from different periods and in different styles, from Nordic myths to Persian miniatures and Japanese characters from classic and pop culture sources. I am interested in how the various mannerisms and mark making come together from a variety of sources to manifest an idealized yet flawed meta-human. Without any specific narrative, I try to depict a collapsed story that gives form to heroes.

_______________________

Alan Lerner  |  albomatic@gmail.com
I approach my life and art as a skeptic, questioning conventional wisdoms and trusting in what is a shifting set of beliefs. My work looks at artiface, theater and contradiction as catalysts toward finding truth. The screen printing medium allows me freedom to pursue the packaged and the moment.

AB(e)DUCTED! Honest Abe Art Show | Art @ Cole’s #16

by

Art@Cole’s #16:
AB(e)DUCTED! The Honest Abe Art Show

THE BACKGROUND:
In December, a heinous act of art theft struck Cole’s Bar and robbed it of its prized Velvet Lincoln painting. Cut out of its frame, all that was left was an empty shell as a reminder of the lack of respect that made it’s way into Cole’s.

THE PEOPLE’S RESPONSE:
To right this wrong, artists and the community flooded Cole’s with newly created replacement Abe’s!
______

Show some love! Join AnySquared Projects, Abraham Lincoln Book Shop, and the Cole’s community to pay tribute to the filched fave, Velvet “Rivera” Lincoln:

AB(e)DUCTED! Honest Abe Art Show
exhibition on display through April 30
Cole’s Bar, 2338 N. Milwaukee

Features Abe-inspired Art@Cole’s exhibit by local artists and display of actual Abe artifacts.

Opening PARTY, Sun March 25, 8pm-11pm: Festivities included exhibit and artifacts, live historic interpretation, and Abe-centric tunes by Foz the Hook.
