The Linda Warren Gallery in Chicago is proud to kick off the fall art season with a three-person exhibition featuring Stanley Lewis, Don Southard, and assistant professor of art Jeremy Long in "Painters Painting."

These three like-minded artists and teachers, spanning three decades in age, grapple with similar concerns, challenging themselves in subject matter in an effort to create works that are original, inventive, and sympathetic to the tradition of painting.

Through their processes, methodologies, and personal inspirations, they pursue the task of painting to its highest levels, demonstrating not just a keen awareness and knowledge of the medium, but also respect and dialogue with the history of art. "Postabstract figuration" best describes their thinking and practice as they employ abstraction in structure and metaphor to achieve perceptual representations of reality, as well as work toward furthering painting's importance in the contemporary art world.
