Unseriously Serious

A group show featuring Chris Cosnowski, Davis & Davis, David Dufault, Paula Henderson, Nick van Woert, and Jeff Zimmermann. "This show promises to be a lot of fun as these are seven no-nonsense artists employing humor and wit in a lighthearted and innocuous fashion to redeploy inoffensive and banal subject matter, imagery and objects into formal works that bequest and deserve more contemplation.

Chicago artist/muralist Jeff Zimmerman takes some store bought items to a whole new level in his painting of an innocent chocolate Easter bunny... at 10 feet tall. This normally delightful pink icon of our Wal-Mart and Hallmark holiday culture is transformed by its enormous scale and the artist’s vivid and exciting use of paint to represent something menacing and all empowering. Zimmerman’s treatment of this insipid symbol of a significant religious event becomes a spectacular representation of an illusion, consuming more strength than the consumer of it. Tied in a yellow “remembering our soldiers” bow, this easter bunny screams to be recognized for what it is...and what it is not. -LW
