Nikki Renee Anderson (January 16 - March 21, 2010)

Anderson

Solo: Outstanding Artists at Elmhurst Art Museum

Nikki Renee Anderson creates ceramic sculptures and installations that explore the feminine experience based on her personal history. The Cherry Series is intended to create fantasy objects and explore cultural stereotypes about beauty, desire and femininity. The sculptures resemble abstract desserts, which reference to the female body. The inspiration for this project comes from Anderson's personal experience.

Emmett Kerrigan: New Work (January 16 - March 21, 2010)

Emmett Kerrigan, Red, Yellow, Butter, 2007 Laminated Wood and Enamel 37 x 37 x 5

Inspired by Whiting, Indiana, a city defined by its large oil refinery, Emmett Kerrigan’s latest paintings depict factories and smokestacks. The bold, colorful factories combined with black power lines heighten the basic elements of shape, line, and color, as well as create interesting compositions. Older pieces inspired by nostalgia for the simple toys of childhood as well as Midwestern farm landscapes will sit alongside these new works, providing a visual chronology of Kerrigan’s interests.

Bill Frederick: Something About You (January 16 - March 21, 2010

Solo: Outstanding Artists at Elmhurst Art Museum

Bill Frederick's paintings of urban landscapes, highway travel, and people caught in a moment express the artist's preoccupations with “friends and family, history and geography, and a nagging sense of dread.” Derived from a combination of imagination and photography, the paintings are a metaphor for the perception of time, memory, and the particularity of the moment.
