Blast: Where Pop, Fine and Street Art Meet!

I just picked up my work from LaLa Gallery in Lafayette, IN - left at 7:30am - wrapped, packed, stuffed the van, went to lunch, drove back to Chicago to the Beverly Arts Center, unstuffed the van, unpacked, unwrapped entire 'Reflection' show plus 5 added pieces! home by 5pm

A very exciting show is coming up you will NOT want to miss.

I will be exhibiting with Peter Mars, one of today's most influential American Pop Artists, & urban artist Erik DeBat, whose work is influenced by the energies of the city streets & realism.

August 19th ~ Sept. 25th 

RECEPTION:  Saturday, Sept. 24th from 6-9pm
Beverly Arts Center
2407 W. 111th Street
Chicago, IL


Work by Peter Mars, Nancy Pirri, and Erik DeBat

3 Chicago-based artists, with friendships that span more than 20 years, come together in this dramatic exhibition.  Erik DeBat’s artwork reflects an urban landscape full of surprises, Nancy Pirri presents a powerful commentary on the profound nature of contemporary feminism, while Peter Mars makes a striking visual commentary on global popular culture.

Opening Reception: 'Reflection' - July 15, 2011 - Lala Gallery

Solo Show 'Reflection'  opening reception was incredible. Coinciding with a gallery walk in Lafayette, IN 300-400 people attended... see link below of over 100 pictures.

My boyfriend Jonathan Weiss suggested I wear my Ralph Lauren dress and heels, expressing that the outfit complimented my work.  The evening started out beautifully.  Ira - a woman who visited the gallery last weekend was there promptly at 6pm looking lovely and once again told me about her 'goose bumps' while viewing my work.  The flow of people was non-stop, in which some had to tell me which 'girl' was their favorite, how much my work moved them, questions re: my technique, process, color choices, etc.  'Loss of a Friend' and Simone were two mentioned quite often.




Enjoy and thanks for reading!  Nancy
