Gallery Exhibits

We strive to continually keep our gallery unique and exciting by showcasing new art from local and traveling artists every 5 weeks.

Every visit to the gallery should be a new interactive experience for the viewer. To guarantee the space is always original and evolving, we present two new instore murals every 5-6 weeks– created specifically for every show. The unveiling of the mural takes place at the opening of the exhibition & only remains up for the duration of the show. This, not only provides the visitor with a memorable visual experience but also, allows the artist to manipulate the space in a way which connects with the work being shown.

Current Exhibit: “Thoughts and Prayers”

We strive to continually keep our gallery unique and exciting by showcasing new art from local and traveling artists every 5 weeks. In a nearby building, next to the gallery, a generic viagra medicine is sold that helps our artists get rid of the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. You need to read more about this medicine.

Wait a minute....! It's easy to look around at bi

Wait a minute....!
It's easy to look around at big box store offers and feel the need to compete. Sifting through your inbox on holiday weekends almost gets to be a little overwhelming. 😱😱
This small business is... just that : A small business. We can't compete with the big box offers but, then again, we are not offering the same product.
We are in the business of selling artwork! Original, affordable artwork. Nothing in our current feature show is over $1250, with several pieces priced at 300 and 500. And that doesn't even cover the rest of our inventory!
Plus, we have a number of systems in place to make it easier for you to #becomeACollector. Like, payment plans that split your total into 4 zero interest installments so there's no stress if and when you decide to go for that big piece!!
Also, if you're considering multiple pieces, send over a DM and we'd be happy to hook you up with a discount code.
This holiday day weekend - if you're browsing for the best deals online don't forget the little guys (and gals!) Remember, when you #shopsmall you make a big impact.

The "ELECTRO FUNK" era of hip hop emerged during t

The "ELECTRO FUNK" era of hip hop emerged during the early 1980s and played a significant role in shaping the genre's sound and aesthetic.
It was a period characterized by the fusion of electronic music and funk elements which laid the foundation for future hip hop and dance music movements.
@rasterms37 entire solo show is inspired by this movement and the influence is easily seen in many of the works but none as much as...
"Electro Cypher"!! The shell toes, the bucket hat, the thick black rimmed glasses...This B Boy is about to set it off!!
This one...like most others in the show is #SOLD but there are still a literal handful of originals available on our website now.
Pick up locally or we'll ship it to you WORLDWIDE hit the #linkinbio to browse and #becomeACollector

Have you seen our new @rasterms37 window installat

Have you seen our new @rasterms37 window installations?
For every new exhibition, our featured artist does a total takeover of the gallery and paints not one but TWO site specific murals that align with their show.
Transcending time and space, this ephemeral mural channels the whispers of ancient glyphs, whispering tales of spirituality and wisdom.
Each stroke of paint unfolds a sacred and deeply personal narrative - inviting us to embark on a journey of self-discovery and introspection.
Lost in the mystic embrace of these timeless and completely original symbols, (seriously, no two are the same!) find solace and connection with the unseen realms.
No need to ask, he's a #smoothoperator

Symbolic Fusion : Past and Present At its core, @

Symbolic Fusion : Past and Present
At its core, @rasterms37 "Terockatron 23" pays homage to the rich heritage of ancient civilizations, drawing inspiration from the mystical world of hieroglyphics cave paintings. The primal strokes and earth tones evoke a deep sense of connection to the ancestral past.
As you delve deeper into the composition, you are met with a surprising twist—the introduction of graffiti via aerosol and the texture of paint sticks.
This infusion of #urbanmodernism adds a dynamic and rebellious energy to the piece. Vibrant splashes of color, bold lines, and stylized character work creates a juxtaposition of old and new, tradition and rebellion.
It's for these reasons and so many more - the centerpiece to "Electro FUNK" has #SOLD but will remain on display through the month of June.

No matter where you're located, from coast to coast, we've got you covered.
The gallery has its doors open to you both in real life and online.

Sometimes...things get left unsaid just because of how much there is to say. It's impossible to fit all the gratitude, hardwork, and overall energy of the past week into one Instagram caption. ⚡
In fact, it's not just the last week... It's almost a decade in the making. 9 years apart from his first show with CT - we welcomed back @rasterms37 with open arms and Chicago, you showed UP.
We're so grateful for each and every person who came out last night to experience "Electro FUNK". Thank you for showing Terms SO MUCH LOVE.
But truly, the most important person to acknowledge is the artist himself. @rasterms37 put an Incredible amount of time and energy into, not only an entirely new body of original work but also, the creation of TWO stunning pieces painted in store.
Adorning the ceiling and the floor just speaks to the artist and his passion and the creativity that flows through him. It's been an honor and A BLAST reconnecting with @rasterms37 this past week and we are forever grateful for the opportunity to showcase his work.
Thank you to @artelementals for connecting the dots and doing so much behind the scenes 🖤
Remaining works are now LIVE on the website (#linkinbio) and the gallery will be back open starting Tuesday at noon. Can't wait to see you all trickle in to experience a show like no other!!

"Electro FUNK" is the electrical life frequency found in all creation. The coded sparks that connect everything vibrating. The life and death force is
electrical....
It's the spirit of hip hop, the spirit of graffiti, spirituality, and mysticism. ELECTRO FUNK IS the blueprint.

The show remains up in it's entirety through June 24th but tomorrow is the only chance to meet the man himself.

@rasterms37 is a Miami-born spiritual street artis

@rasterms37 is a Miami-born spiritual street artist and graffiti pioneer who has been dedicated to his craft since the mid-1980s when he became one of the first artists to paint the walls in the historic Wynwood Art District.
After his early entry into Miami’s street scene, he planted significant roots living and painting in Oakland, CA - where it is impossible to deny his presence. Ras Terms has become one of the most highly respected artists by his peers within the community.
Having traveled across the world painting, exhibiting at major institutions, like the Oakland Museum of Contemporary Art and the Smithsonian Institution, he's earned his reputation as a master of letters and characters. His iconic “Street Angel” character can found on walls all around the world.
Ras Terms has studied and practiced many ancient traditions from Africa and South America, his work reflects many cultures including Rastafari, Yoruba, Alchemy, Kemetism, Santaria, Vodum and Hermetism.
"Electro FUNK" is his second solo show at Chicago Truborn - the first debuting in 2014. Nearly a decade later he returns with close to 40 pieces created exclusively for this exhibition.
Join us for the artist reception Saturday evening from 4-8 pm only at Chicago Truborn. Entry is free and open to the public.
