The Church Of Wife, Wuv & Waughter "Its easier to break love than to make love"
New works by Chris Silva Opening Reception: January 17th 2009 from 7pm until 11pm Showing at Gallery Three: January 17th through February 7th 2009. Zen Master, Thich Nhat Hanh believed, "We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness.” Chris Silva lives a life that gives priority to following his creative muse while contributing positively to the evolution of the collective. He believes the collective consciousness is infinitely more important than individual ego. For the past several years, Silva has been deeply involved in community and city public art programs. In 2004 Silva was awarded a major public art commission by the Chicago Transit Authority to create a mosaic reading “You Are Beautiful” cross the Blue Line California Station. Chris Silva’s art is a diary of his commitment to humanity, relationships, and nature. The harmonious collection "The Church Of Wife, Wuv & Waughter" strives to facilitate spiritually enriching interactions between themes of love and humor. Aiming to foster an artistic presence and participate in the evolution of conversation about humanity, environment, development, and consumer culture. Through his art and community involvement, Silva addresses the need for positive social change with graffiti-infused lyrical pieces, bringing a bit of nature and humanity to the city. His personal exploration in music, art, and design has produced a visually poetic yet ambiguous collection of work. His organic style of mixed media converges found objects and materials. Drawing upon the ornate, rich surface histories, texture, and decay with lyrical, calligraphic qualities of marks and defined lines. The new works featured in "The Church Of Wife, Wuv & Waughter" are quite a bit different from his previous shows by incorporating more paintings done on canvas with acrylic & enamel. Of the 13 pieces exhibited at Gallery Three, 4 are done in collaboration with his new wife, Lauren Feece. The stunning bright bold colors and romantic lines amidst urban substance, collage and painting seem to reflect the theme of new love. This exhibit of new works uses innovative combinations of materials and content to encourage the perceptual and spiritual evolution of the general public. With hopes to inspire kindness and consideration, "The Church Of Wife, Wuv & Waughter" demonstrates progressive art as a way of thinking and acting. "The Church Of Wife, Wuv & Waughter" new works by Chris Silva is on display at Gallery Three from January 17th through February 7th 2009. Opening reception on Saturday, January 17th 2009 from 7pm until 11pm, and is open to the public. Gallery hours vary so please call to make an appointment for viewing.
