Chicago Art Review - Seven Artists of the Week

It’s been a while since I’ve ran this feature, so let me quickly reintroduce Seven Artists of the Week: a weekly post where I ask one artist, curator, or other member of our beloved Chicago art community to select seven artists to be featured as a group. We’ve had some great lists (all of which you can browse here) from such local luminaries as Eric May, Zach and Holly Cahill, Marc Fischer, as well as plenty from both myself and Ryan Travis Christian, who inspired this feature with his artist of the day Facebook posts back in the heady years of 2009-2010. Whether used as a platform for hyping other artists or as a snapshot of professional tastes, here’s hoping 2014 can be a banner year for Seven Artists of the Week.

This week’s picks are from local painter friend Magalie Guérin, who recently exhibited work in Glass Curtain Gallery’s Slow Read, and was interviewed last fall by Bad at Sports’ Caroline Picard.

Check out Magalie’s picks below, and click through each image to check out more from that artist.
