SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Mind Games
DESCRIPTION:Kim Storage Gallery is thrilled to present “Mind Games\,” a solo exhibition by Chicago-based artist April Behnke. This captivating show features a new body of work showcasing Behnke’s exploration of perceptual play through paintings and drawings. The exhibition delves into the ways we use vision to perceive patterns and make sense of the world. Behnke skillfully interrupts these patterns\, mixing up foreground and background to create a visual experience that is both familiar and disorienting. Visitors will be intrigued by the dynamic interplay of colors and shapes\, which challenge and engage the viewer’s perception. \n“Mind Games” not only references the show’s main theme but also invites viewers to participate in a playful and interactive experience. Behnke’s work draws inspiration from both board games and early video games\, incorporating structured patterns and visual interruptions that evoke a sense of nostalgia and curiosity. This exhibition marks Behnke’s first solo show at Kim Storage Gallery\, and it promises to be a thought-provoking and visually stimulating event. Join us for the opening reception and artist talk\, where Behnke will provide deeper insights into her creative process and the conceptual underpinnings of her work. \nOpening Reception: Friday\, July 18 from 5 to 8 p.m. (Gallery Night MKE)\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, July 19 beginning at 1 p.m. \n
