Argentinian and local Chicago artist, Beatriz E. Ledesma will be exhibiting a series of work entitled, Not Quite There Yet.  This series of vibrant work explores our attempts to find a safe space amidst a world of chaos and destruction.  By exploring this aspect of life, the work inspires us to question what makes us feel safe and where we go to feel safe, whether that space is a state of mind or an actual place. The exhibition consists of several vibrant mixed media and oil paintings.  Each piece exhibits an ethereal demonstration of chaos through brush strokes and painted forms that surround a window or space of calm and safety. Through her work, Ledesma proposes to the viewer a spiritual path to finding safety amidst a current society of materialism and violence.  Ledesma's personal beliefs and background reflect strongly through this exhibition of work.
