MORGAN PARK — Artist Keiko Nemeth will discuss her solo exhibit at the Beverly Arts Center from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on April 24 in the center's east gallery.
As part of the discussion, Nemeth will offer insight on her bold canvases and intricate photography on display through April 26 at 2407 W. 111th St. in Morgan Park.
The discussion is titled, "At the Portal: Considering the Mike Shiner Conundrum in the Movie 'Birdman.' ”
As part of the talk, Nemeth will explore the concept of being alive only in a play and how this reflects our own predicament.
Born in Yokohama, Japan, Nemeth was once an exchange student on Chicago's north shore. She attended college both in Japan and the U.S. and lived for many years in northern California and Florida.
She returned to Chicago in 2000 and maintains a studio in the artists' community of Mana Contemporary in Pilsen.
Her painting of her Japanese family, “Aunt Kazuko's Wedding," received the Top Tier Award of the Exhibeo Magazine in 2014.
Nemeth's show at the Beverly Arts Center includes both large-scale canvases and a photo installation. Both are meant to evoke movement and emotion.
Admission to the discussion and the gallery are both free. Gallery viewing hours are between 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 1-4 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, call 773-445-3838 or visit beverlyartcenter.org.
