Exhibition Opening: Transfiguration (1980-2025) by Jonathan D. Wallace

Exhibition Opening

Jonathan D. Wallace’s paintings invite viewers into liminal spaces where figures, interiors, and landscapes become vessels for transformation. This exhibition traces his exploration of symbolic representation, where color, gesture, and form create a threshold to a deeper reality.

Transfiguration includes over 100 paintings, carvings, sculptures, collages, and mixed media works created over the last 45 years. This opening is the first in a series of new artist-led events at Jonathan's studio in Chicago's Humboldt Park Neighborhood.

The evening will include a talk by the artist, Jonathan D. Wallace. Light refreshments will be provided. With live music by the Adam Shead Standards Trio.
