Andrew Bell and McBess @ Rotofugi Gallery

Opening tonight, March 25th at the Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago, IL is a duo show with Andrew Bell and McBess. Andew Bell’s new series of works is entitled “Love the End” and not only features the acrylic and graphite works his shows are known for, but also includes some sculptures, a limited plush, print portfolio, and even a limited edition rug. It’s a strong series of works, with the color palette of all the works being red, black, and white. McBess (Matthieu Bessudo), new show is called “Gut Grinder” and features some ink on paper works, a large selection of giclee prints (framed or unframed), and a custom painted vintage guitar. There is some good pics of the gallery with the art hung up, something I wish more galleries would do. It gives the viewer a good idea of the scale of the works.
