Donna Hapac: Wave, Loop, Twist
August 22 – September 22
Using materials commonly associated with traditional fiber and textile work, Donna Hapac constructs sculptural forms that seem to connect to a range of sources while rejecting any real affiliation. Her background in painting and drawing clearly contributes to the layered complexity of her sculptures. Hapac has exhibited her work throughout the Midwest for over twenty-five years.

Robert Donley: Urban Voices
October 3 – November 3
For over five decades, Robert Donley has made paintings informed by history and guided by his environment. This exhibition highlights some of Donley’s most iconic paintings from his Chicago years, the mid-seventies through 2007. These densely populated urban landscapes address issues of war and social inequities with the surrealistic whimsy of the Chicago Imagists. Donley is Professor Emeritus at DePaul University. His work has been exhibited throughout the United States, Europe and Asia and appears in numerous private and public collections.
