Hey hey its DAY 1 of "Out of the Woods" by @lie_4d
Not only is this his fourth feature exhibition here but it's also our 10 year anniversary show!
We're looking forward to seeing everyone this week who might have missed the opening reception. Or perhaps, those who just want a second look without all the people!
Our door is open till 6 pm every day tue - sat.
We're so blown away by the immense support our collectors have already shown us - we're down to the final few paintings already!!
Although best enjoyed in person, remaining works are definitely all available for purchase online as well.

Like ASMR for your eyeballz, @lie_4d makes it look so easy but make no mistake, it's not.
It's years and years of formal training and education, studio practice, real life execution. Mulling over concepts, characters, figures, shading, line work, blending, composition and color theory... All that goes into making these pretty little paintings 🤩
Can hardly wait to lay our eyes on - and share in that visual feasting with you - "Out of the Woods"
CHICAGO TRUBORN turns 10 next Saturday and we sooo want you to be there to celebrate with us.
4-8 pm free and open to the public

In light of Chicago Truborn's 10 year anniversary

In light of Chicago Truborn's 10 year anniversary fast approaching - coinciding with the fact that @aerosolkingdom just happens to be visiting currently...
It just felt right to share a little #FLASHBACKFRIDAY
The first 5 pictures were October 14th, 2013 at our first location on Division - the second 5 in 2019 when he returned for his second CT solo show.
It's pretty, pretty, pretty, wild to think about all that has changed since day 1.
The man in this pic was known as a stencil artist who went by the name #MrPrvrt. And as you can see, his work was largely horror themed.
These days he's known as @aerosolkingdom and he paints realistic portraits of both humans and animals, freehand, all over the world.
Incredible to witness his evolution and growth over the last decade and so proud to still have him as an integral part of Chicago Truborn.
Speaking of growth, check out the old gallery 😂
Huge thank you to all the artists and collectors who stuck with CT from the beginning. WHAT A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN.
Celebrate with us next Saturday from 4-8 pm for our big 10 yr Anni bash. Click on that "Out of the Woods" reminder so you won't miss it!
