22 is proud to announce its upcoming exhibit, Home Town. The show will feature work from four artists who live and work in Berwyn: Mike Helbing, Tommaso Lesnick, Robyn Oliver, and Mr. Walters. While most of the previous shows at 22 were large group exhibits featuring work from up to twenty artists and designers each, Home Town focuses on work from just four artists, giving us the chance to explore in finer detail what a selection of artists are doing in our own Berwyn neighborhood. Mike Helbing is a sculptor whose pieces combine metal work, assemblage, found objects, and kinetic elements. Robyn Oliver holds a Ph.D. in psychology, and her scientific background informs her art, particularly in terms of perception and visual cognition. Tommaso Lesnick’s "Fellow Travelers" project consists of 150 photographs taken of commuters on a daily route over the course of a year. The variety of people within these photographs blend together into a singular "commuter," drawing on aspects of ritualistic behavior in the process. Mr. Walters works in a variety of mediums, including comics, graphic design, and T-shirts. He’s also been making one drawing a day since 2005. As part of Home Town, Mr. Walters will be exhibiting the entire collection of daily drawings from 2011, providing a great opportunity to see inside one person’s creative mind. We invite you to join us for the opening reception from 7pm to 10pm on May 18.
