Tomorrow I'll put together a thread of some of the pics I took at the Bisa Butler exhibition when it was at the Art Institute.

I thought I had more, I'll have to look for them.

Her work is indescribable.

I saw Bisa Butler’s exhibit at the Art Institute in 2021. Stellar. Although a medium that I don’t customarily enjoy, the beauty and depth of her art won me over.

I definitely have a lot of respect for fabric arts, I feel they don't always get the full acclaim they should bc they are often the realm of women, but her work is beyond anything I've ever seen in fabric. Or paint.

Did you get to see the Obama portraits too?

It was so much more than I expected!!

Though I didn't know what to expect. I actually filled out the follow up survey from the Art Institute, I was so blown away bc I thought it should be in their permanent collection.

The festival of colors and patterns catches the eye, but the children’s eyes lock you in and dare you to turn away

It makes you want to know them and their lives

Don't they?? I think this one is called Safety Patrol.

She works from photographs, some historical where who the people were is lost to time. But what a way to be remembered.

She is absolutely a pioneer which is difficult to do in the modern age, but I suspect she will inspire an entire generation of artists.

Thanks!! I hope it lives up to it!!

Even if I don't have all the pics, even the ones I've found so far show the range.
