Italian artist Gabriele Pellerone’s work will be on display as part of “Autumn Equinox: Collective Visions in Abstraction and Figuration” at Agora Gallery in Chicago. Pellerone’s innovative works shatter the boundaries of contemporary painting techniques. Using silicone rubber as his canvas, the artist composes his works with a tattoo machine and needles.
His oeuvre marries realism with fantasy, often combining themes inspired by mythology, the Renaissance, and pop culture. The artist encourages his audience to reach out and touch his paintings, experiencing the highly textural component that accompanies his technique. The exhibition will run from Sept. 21 to Oct. 11, with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on Sept. 27. (www.agora-gallery.com)
