Latino artists exhibit work at Elmhurst College

Three Chicago-based, Latino artists are exhibiting their works on paper this fall at Elmhurst College. Herman Aguirre, Javier Chavira and Gabriel Villa are stylistically diverse artists who work in a variety of media.

Their "Works on Paper" exhibition can be viewed days and evenings through Saturday, Nov. 11, in the Founders Lounge of the Frick Center at Elmhurst College, 190 Prospect Ave., Elmhurst. The public exhibition is free.

Each artist expresses a very personal vision. Aguirre's images are concerned with issues of loss and human fragility. Chavira's drawings reference nature and celebrate the beauty of abstraction. Villa's works portray the struggle of everyday life and the human condition.

The exhibition is one of about a dozen art shows that Elmhurst College hosts each academic year in two campus venues. In addition, the college's A.C. Buehler Library permanently houses the college's collection of Chicago Imagist and Abstractionist Art, which explores the vibrant, often outrageous, yet precisely crafted works of Chicago artists between 1950 and the present.
