Artist Reception: Saturday, December 5th, 1-3 p.m.
Artist walkthrough starts at 1:30 p.m.

Illinois sculptor Chris Berti presents Confections, an exhibition of carved stone and brick sculptures that transform familiar forms into unexpected and evocative objects. Berti likens his artistic process to that of an archaeologist, gradually removing material to reveal the final form. Often working with found materials, he draws inspiration from subjects ranging from frosted cakes to planets, bringing a playful sense of discovery to these carefully carved works. On December 5th, he will give an artist’s talk about his process and inspiration for his unusual sculptures.

All Creatures Great and Small is a group exhibition of painting and sculpture exploring the representation of animals in contemporary art. Spanning a range of mediums and styles, from surrealism to realism, the works are at once compelling and unexpected. Together, they examine the complex and often curious relationship between humans and the animal world, inviting viewers to reconsider our connections with the creatures that share our environment.
