Gaby discussing the silkscreening process to her brother Jose....
A writer from the IUN newsletter The Phoenix calls Gaby's work "instantly appealing", and a design reminiscent of vintage 60's paperbacks. Well, she can see the light at the end of the tunnel now...only a few more weeks till graduation. Congratulations on all your hard work babe we are so proud:)
The McCormick Place in Chicago is probably not the first place you think about when looking for some interesting art pieces. However, it's a little known home to quite a few, which you can find out more about by clicking here. For example, this blown glass chandelier in the lower image was made by an artist by the name of Dale Chihuly. Luckily for us, we were able to walk directly underneath it to capture a more unusual perspective of this immense piece. The brilliant color, along with the texture and curvature of the glass were part of what inspired Gaby to use this photo to create her silkscreen entitled "De Colores" in the top image.
We are big Chicago Bears fans in this family, so a piece like this was probably inevitable. We're still trying to recover from a season of disappointment. On the bright side...see ya Ron Turner! The photo at the bottom was taken by Gaby while attending a game for the 08'/09' season at Soldier Field which inspired the piece above it. The colors, architectural interest, and composition of this piece landed it 3rd place in an IUN gallery art contest.If you are interested in or have any questions about the photography/artwork shown, please feel free to contact us at jxhern2@yahoo.com for more information.
