Chicago, IL - The Architrouve is proud to present the art exhibition White&Black by Wesley Kimler & Sandro. Wesley Kimler's biomorphic black and white drawings on paper that explore the idea of texture and form will be exhibited next to Sandro's daring black and white prints of abstracted nudes on plexiglas. These bodies of work reflect aspects of nature that goes beyond the recognizable and leads the viewer into the imaginable. These sensuous masses of flesh and paint on paper will question your notions of beauty.

Wesley Kimler is a painter, insurgent, and co-founder of Sharkforum: a website dedicated to contrasting opinions about the Chicago art scene and discussions about the art world in general. He is an accomplished artist who is a controversial and powerful figure in contemporary art due to his boisterously outspoken personality that is equally matched in talent as an artist. His artworks on paper are comprised of poured black gesso that takes on ameba like forms and subtle strokes of charcoal. Kimler cuts the works into fragments and reconstructs them into configurations that surprise and delight the eye.
Sandro is internationally known for his photography and has been photographing people for over 25 years. With numerous award-winning projects to his credit, he is one of today's foremost masters of the medium. His photography series of Nudes on Plexi, called Massa offers a unique exploration of the human body shot from beneath Plexiglas. These decipherable masses of human flesh on Plexi create extraordinary texture and uniquely abstracted compositions rarely rendered through photography.
