5 Things I Learned from Remedios Varo
After seeing her exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago
I was soooo excited to see the Remedios Varo exhibition, Science Fictions, at the Art Institute of Chicago, and it exceeded my expectations. As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been doing Inktober, so I’ve been drawing lots of Varo-inspired pieces in ink—several infused with German Expressionist woodcut style, which I’m also obsessed with. There’s so much more to say, but these are some highlights of the things I’ve been pondering.
FUN FACT: “The Creation of the Birds,” in #4a above, is actually included in the first spread of my graphic memoir, The Keeper, where I introduce my soccer team, the Cardinals.
Magic, magic everywhere, and all of ours to make! Thank you for sharing :)
I love all of this. So inspiring!!
