Spenser Bower’s Artist Statement:

I’ve always wished for the power to freeze time. My art captures the golden ephemeral moments of vibrant youth in tableau. I draw inspiration from Chicago’s frenetic energy, especially its iconic gay scene. My work is meant to elicit the melancholic joy of a remembered summer afternoon. Though each of these vignettes, in reality, may have only lasted an instant, they will now live on long after I am no longer here to remember them.

See the work and come to their opening ceremony for “Beaches and Nightclubs” on Friday, December 13th from 5 to 9 PM at 1400 N. Halsted Ave
