Tony Orrico at the Cultural Center
Well it has begun -- EXPO art week -- and although it culminates in EXPO CHGO beginning on Friday there are lots of things going on all over the city right now. One thing that I am particularly excited about is local artist Tony Orrico, who is adding to his Penwald drawing series with his eighth installment at the Chicago Cultural Center on Tuesday from 11am-3pm.
This series is made up of drawings in which Orrico uses his body to explore the geometry of his movement. With a background in dance he gestures according to mood and his sense of self both physical and mental, creating makes within the confines of his own reach. Orrico's repetition and spontaneity create large scale beautiful drawings that are astounding to watch come into existence.
This performance, which is being presented by both EXPO and Marso gallery in Mexico City where Orrico is represented, is sure to be an exhilarating stop to see the performance that will leave the creation of a drawing as a record.
