Connect Or Dialog Trying - Matthew Hoffman {Chicago}
We've just installed 99 pieces of Chicago artist Matthew Hoffman's exhibition Connect Or Dialogue Trying!
The entire collection consists of 10,900 sheets of paper. Each "print" is crafted from multiple layers of hand cut French & Wausau papers in various thicknesses.
Each edition of 50 is created at one time, hand cut in a stack on a wood saw. These prints were developed to be intentionally sharable---in their messaging, affordability, and ease of framing due to their standard size.
Limited Edition $25 each. Only 1 of each design available. 8.5" x 11"
View the whole collection here on Facebook.
Visit Matthew's site here.

Flock Shop would like to announce that we will be looking to close our Chinatown brick & mortar in early 2013.

That being said, we cordially invite you to our 5 year Anniversary Party and last official art show, "Bright Future", on Saturday, September 15th.

_____// Christopher Umana
Christopher Umana depicts everyday occurrences from the monumental to the mundane. Every moment in one’s life is a piece of a puzzle that should always call attention to itself regardless of its importance or impact. He uses anthropomorphic figures as representations of the people he encounters everyday. Christopher believes there is a connection between people, animals, and insects. He focuses on personal topics such as the institution of family, life and death in correlation with different cultural reactions and superstitions related to these subjects.
2003 BFA Illustration Art Center College of Design, Pasadena
www.christopherumana.com
_____// Stephen Umana
Stephen Umana is the painter and musician formerly operating under the name Ichae Ackso. His work is inspired by optical illusions and the human brain’s need to find patterns within random structures. The end result is clusters of letters, calligraphic line work, and cartoon figures abstracted beyond recognition. The end result is something that feels completely recognizable glance, but proves itself to be completely foreign on further investigation.

About the Show//
Patrick is an amazing artist and great friend of ours and has been a part of Flock Shop since it's inception in 2007.
Patrick will be showing limited edition prints from his first solo show at Culturefix in New York. These pieces are based on an unpublished short story.
“ The Archipelago” ; the story and the place, are a shortfall parading as a windfall. As each of the six (seven) islands that describe its substance move to prevent The Forgetting, a widespread cancellation of memory, they, and you, the sojourning reader, shift through shape, time, and the shadows of understanding, accompanied only by a giant cormorant, his gentlemanly wing, and a small leather portfolio filled with broken letters and pieces of history undone. You bear the secret hope that artifact and exploration are adequate reparations for this loosely associated string of coral and sand. While mining the reminiscences of spider-limbed fishermen, a convent of austere and mysterious nuns, riddling sea serpents, and the flagging love sought after by a seafaring Baron on his great ship, the Vernaculus, The Forgetting takes hold of you and opens the doorway to the fate of the people–and the memory–of the Archipelago.
