(CHICAGO, IL)—The Global Bar-Café—located within the Orrington Hotel in Evanston, Illinois—recently announced they will be hosting a holiday art exhibition featuring impressionist painter Greg Allen Page. The event is set to be held on Friday, December 11, at 7 pm.
Greg Page—who only began his full time painting career in 2004—has since completed over 60 original oil paintings and has been featured in international galleries across the world, including Los Angeles, Scottsdale, Maui, Como, Italy and Chicago—where his work is currently on display at Interior Effects.
“I originally began painting as an outlet in which I could project different feelings and emotions on a blank canvas,” says Page. “My paintings are derived from spirituality, love and beautiful life experiences, combined with a raw and personal perspective of pop culture and aspects of life which are encountered daily.”
The Art Exhibition will take place in the intimate setting of the Globe Bar and will feature about ten of Page’s impressionistic style paintings. The selected paintings which will be displayed accentuate Page’s use of visible brushstrokes, an open composition with emphasis on light and its changing qualities, ordinary subject matter and unusual visual angles—all key components of impressionistic art.
“For me, becoming an artist has never been about worldwide recognition, fame and fortune,” says Page. “It is about tapping into my artistic presence and taking things I love, bringing them to life on a blank canvas, and sharing them with the world.”
To truly sum up how he views his work, Page states, “Oil painting is not photography. The soul of the painter is in the freedom of his hand and the brush.”
Along with Greg Page, two or three guest artists from the School of Art Institute of Chicago have also been invited to feature their work.
The public is invited to enjoy this open house reception. Refreshments will be offered and all are welcome to attend an event embracing art, holiday cheer, and the support of local and emerging artists.
