Chicago Faces by Salvador Campos June 1st to 30th 2010

WINDOW INSTALLATION:
During the month of June 2010, ART ON ARMITAGE window gallery will present an installation of works created by Chicago artist Salvador Campos. The installation explores the use of discarded pieces of plastic, metal, wood and cloth found on the streets of Chicago to create sculptures, assemblages and figures. Called "Chicago Faces," the show runs from June 1 through 30, 2010. It features a series of startling faces, masks and figures. By using found objects in unexpected ways these works have a sly or ironic aspect in the juxtaposition of unlikely materials or shapes that are part of our urban life.Salvador Campos strives to stimulate the viewer's perceptual awareness of the beauty and value in the ordinary and to encourage creative imagination regarding reuse of materials in the hope that they will discard less and recycle more.
