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)

John Bambino is a Chicago artist that believes that art should represent oneself, thus his work represents himself. John thinks life is complicated enough; sometimes too much going on in any piece of work can take away from the original meaning and feeling of the piece. His work is composed of simple, bold colors, and his goal is to make his work very enjoyable to look at and for it to stand out amongst everything else. John Bambino’s style is influenced by his cousin, friends, being involved in the hip-hop community, and looking at other artists’ and graffiti artists’ work. www.coasp.tumblr.com

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
