Gallery Exhibition Opening: "From What Are Dreams"A 2- and 3-dimensional art exhibition by Surrealist Karena A Karras opens at Eyeporium Gallery on Friday, April 3, 2009.
CHICAGO, Illinois – March 23, 2009 – Eyeporium Gallery presents “From What Are Dreams”, an exhibition of surrealist works by internationally collected artist and FOI member Karena A Karras This event is free and open to the public.
When Karras was a little girl, her teacher asked her what she wanted to be. She replied, “A swan.” Given the anthropomorphic birds in Karras’ surrealist paintings, I believe she has accomplished her goal! Alchemy, metamorphosis and mythology richly inform much of Karras’ work. Karras is a Chicago native and a graduate of the Sch,ool of the Art Institute. She found her “voice” early and has produced surrealistic work throughout her career. Karras is considered the inheritor of the mantle of surrealist painter Leonora Carrington, with whom she had a close friendship, and, in turn, Max Ernst.
