Amanda Elizabeth Joseph Impresses
I was over in River North the other day hitting up a few haunts of mine and I stepped into one of the most inspired galleries with a consistent vision here in Chicago, Zg. Meg and Myra never seem to disappoint, and the show they have up now which is in its final week, is no exception. The young and very talented Amanda Elizabeth Joseph who hails from Ohio and studied in Indiana takes a hard look at where she has come from.
Amanda is painting sweet, caring and understanding paintings of herself and her friends living pork rinds and cold beer. There is joy is exposing blemishes and these drew me in, they are bigger than high def and more real than we want to admit but it is a fun show that is worth a look at. Amanda's work will impress you, it did me.
