Opening Reception for "Plant-Based" - Solo Exhibition by Jaime Foster

Join us for the opening reception of "Plant-Based" by Jaime Foster on Friday, August 12th from 6 to 9pm!

“Plant-Based” is a series of abstract paintings that explore the textures, patterns and shapes that are found in nature. Jaime’s work takes on a life of its own as the paint blooms, flows, rushes and swirls. Some works resemble vast glacial landscapes while others contain intricate botanical patterns. The inspiration behind these works is clearly found in nature but Jaime has taken those elements and created abstracted visuals that give the subject new life and elicit an emotional response through her use of color and movement. Jaime’s passion for the fact that biodiversity is essential to life and that plants make our existence possible is translated into each work, resulting in a stunning homage to nature.

For opening night, wine is served courtesy of locally-based MMMM...Just Enjoy. Guests are welcome to walk a block over to Balbo & Michigan Ave. to the Blackstone Hotel (636 S Michigan Ave.) to view additional artwork in the lobby by Jaime. Guests can also purchase a specialty cocktail that evening from Mercat (inside the hotel), created especially for the exhibition. The cocktail is called Forma de Pera, made with pear liqueur, sherry & a whole lotta love.
