Doug Cannell: IN LONGHAND  Opening Reception Fri.  July 21, 5-8pmIN LONGHAND marks Doug Cannell’s first solo show in Chicago and features all new works. These sculptures have their roots in calligraphy, brushwork, and the written word. Many of these unique works are inspired by Japanese sumi-e calligraphy, in particular the Zen practice of the enso, an ink circle drawn briefly and in one stroke. Others are deconstructed and reimagined letterforms from the Thai, Armenian, Korean and other alphabets. But all are fabricated from bent, laminated plywood, in a process that interprets loose, inky brushstrokes and typography into three dimensions.

Opening Reception, Friday, July 21, 5:00-8:00pm

  • Exhibition dates: July 20 - August 11, 2023

  • Gallery hours: Thurs – Fri 2-6pm, Sat – Sun 12-4 pm

This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
