Some of my favorites from the VIP Preview and Opening Night of #ExpoChicago yesterday (and what a gorgeous day it was to be out on Navy Pier!). The #art fair opens to the public today!
1 - Antonio Santín, "Panza Burra" (2025), #oiloncanvas, Marc Straus Gallery. A perennial favorite Expo #artist staple of mine ever since I first saw his trompe l'oeil #paintings in 2013 (possibly earlier!).

6 - Esaí Alfredo, Spinello Projects. Loved all his #paintings in this solo booth. "Starless is an evocative series of nocturnal scenes inspired by #sciencefiction and set against the hauntingly familiar landscapes of his hometown, Yabucoa, Puerto Rico, as well as the shadowy subtropics of South Florida's Everglades. At the center of these works is the gay male figure and gaze, reflected through the atmospheric lens of a world where light—and certainty—seem perpetually out of reach."
7 - Han Young Wook, "Face," #oil on aluminum, scratch, BHAK.
8 - Shawn Huckins, "Sunset Over the Valley with Dark Blue Satin Fabric" (2025), oil and #acrylic on canvas, Richard Heller #Gallery.
9 - Harriet White, "Haven," oil on linen, GBS #FineArt.
10 - Luftwerk, "Prairie Colorfield," sand and botanicals, 6018|North.

15 - Marlene Stamm, "5 Hours of Light" (2025), #watercolor on paper, OMA Galeria. "For every single image, a match is lit and held, and time is measured with a stopwatch. The watercolor captures the portrait of the burnt match and the duration of the flame is written down."
