Another highlight is a vivid new print by prominent Saint Louis-based artist Carmon Colangelo entitled Evoking Ernst, which merges traditional stone lithographic techniques with digitally derived photo lithographic imagery in a dramatic and colorful composition. all hearts beneath the sun (Let War’s Tempests Cease) is an engaging piece by prominent Chicago artist Bethany Collins, one of three of her lithographs recently published by Normal Editions. Also featured are prints by noted New York painters Lorraine Shemesh and Judy Glantzman, along with works by artists Ian Weaver, Jason Walker, Matthew Day Perez, Brittney Denham Wisonant, and a suite of five images by Illinois State University faculty members Tyler Lotz, Brian Franklin, Melissa Oresky, Archana Shekara, and Michael Wille.
