An exhibition featuring the work of Chicago artist Frank Connet will be on display through Sunday, Sept. 18, in Elgin Community College’s Safety-Kleen Gallery One. The gallery is located inside the college’s ECC Arts Center, 1700 Spartan Drive, Elgin.

A textile restorer, Connet has incorporated his intricate knowledge of the fabric into his creations. He uses Japanese dyeing techniques to provide color and electroforming to shape his artwork.

Many of Connet’s pieces are inspired by nature — transitions, cycles, patterns, symbols, and structures. What makes his pieces come alive is his instinctive layering of monochromatic blues, showing hidden depth in the background.
