Polar Vortex Work From Michael McGuire

Michael McGuire made a series of drawings while staying at home during the recent Polor Vortex last week. Small and time consuming these drawings were the perfect antidote to the winds and sub-zero temperatures outside.

Bobby Get Down Brown

Las Manos will have an irregular schedule over the Holidays. Michael is heading out of town through New Years but Michelle promises to come in on the weekends. It never hurts to call ahead to be sure someone is in the gallery before heading up to Andersonville; 773.728.8910

In the meantime a few new Bobby Brown portraits. Bobby is a neighborhood artist who has had a career in the music business but now pursues painting as a creative endeavor.  And we very much enjoy his paintings too; joyful, clever and witty. We now have a collection of his portraits on the wall of the gallery which we are hoping to keep together as a group.

Late Night Andersonville is happening this coming Friday, the 7th of December and Las Manos thought we would throw a little party to celebrate the winter season. Come join us on Friday from 6 to 9pm for a little drink and a little Holiday camaraderie. A lot will be going on in the neighborhood that evening including Chuck Meyers showing new paintings at Scout around the corner.

Grace Rowland - 'Ride The Wave'

This weekend Las Manos was happy to host an art installation by Grace Rowland, a senior at The Waldorf School, now located across the street from the gallery. Grace's project consisted of drawing, photography and this wonderful wall piece installed in the front portion of the gallery. This drawing was improvised directly on the wall with black gaffers tape in under three hours. Congratulations Grace, job well done.

FOUND - New Work Based On Found Materials

We are installing a new show next week based upon the found materials collected over this past summer. Michelle writes: "LAND FILL - This show is about using materials that have been discarded. One less thing tossed into the trash heap that has become our landscape."

Join us of an opening cocktail party on Friday, October 26, 2018 from 6 to 9pm. We are hoping to fill the gallery with thought provoking objects that reflect out interest in reusing found and discarded materials.
