“Respond.React” a collaborative exhibit that explores “influential creation” through a series of 30-plus paintings by John Bambino and Lewis Lain
Cole’s Bar 2338 N. Milwaukee
December 16, 2012-February 10, 2013.
Artist reception Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 7:30pm.
Respond. React is an exhibition of artistic responses between artists John Bambino and Lewis lain. This experiment in collaboration began with both artists creating a painting. These first ‘prime’ paintings were exchanged and each artist lived with the other’s painting for one week. Each artist then created a painting in response to the other’s ‘prime’ painting. The second paintings were again exchanged and again lived with for a week. Each artist created another painting based off the other’s second painting. These paintings were then exchanged. This cycle of response and reaction continued for four months and the outcome created the series of the paintings currently on display at Cole’s. (Gallery of images on fb)
Lewis Lain is a multi-medium artist residing in Chicago. His work focuses on storytelling with simple design and recycled ‘resonant’ material. His use of re-claimed windows and found-glass as canvas with cardboard and acrylic results in multi-dimensional paintings punctuated with extensive use of color and texture. Recent exhibitions include ‘origins’ and ‘worldview,’ and a mural commissioned by the Village of Oak Park. He is fascinated with constant exploration of the balance between mundane action and annihilating revelation. www.lewislain.com
