ECC Humanities Center welcomes artist Anthony Adcock Sept. 29

The Elgin Community College Humanities Center will welcome artist Anthony Adcock, from 1 to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 29, in the Building G Spartan Auditorium on the Spartan Drive campus, 1700 Spartan Drive, Elgin.

In his presentation, Adcock will use hyper representational paintings, illusionistic sculpture, and short films to distort the line between reality and perception to question the importance and relevancy of authorship.

The event is free and open to the public.

Adcock blends his unique experience as a local ironworker, a collegiate instructor and an artist to create works that focus on the relationship between labor and value.

His work has been published in New American Paintings and has been shown throughout the country in various galleries and venues, including Packer Schopf Gallery in Chicago; Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa, Okla.; and the M Gallery of Fine Art in Charleston, S.C.

Adcock received his master of fine arts degree from the University of Chicago and his bachelor of fine arts degree from the American Academy of Art with a specialization in oil painting. He is a full-time faculty member at the American Academy of Art and works out of his studio in Chicago.

The Humanities Center Speaker Series brings speakers of international, national and/or regional importance to ECC for the benefit of the ECC academic community to speak on topics significant to the humanities.
