Subtle Combat
Two person show with Robert Burnier
Around the Coyote Gallery, Chicago, IL
April 16 – May 5, 2007
Around the Coyote, one of Chicago’s most diverse non-profit emerging arts organizations, is pleased to announce Subtle Combat, a dual exhibition featuring work by collaborative artists Burtonwood and Holmes, and self-taught artist Robert Burnier. This exhibition seeks to illustrate ways in which artists today are choosing to confront the subtleties and complexities of living in a time of war. Favoring a holistic look at our decision to go to war — rather than an oversimplification of the social, political and economic times used in so much protest art — these artists have found ways to question our present course while still working with an aesthetic beauty. Burtonwood and Holmes’ site-specific installation of large and small scale military tanks along with various paintings will be accompanied by Burnier’s large and small scale grid paintings.
