On November 7 & 8, Baltazar Castillo's Studio #220 is showing a collection of four international painters, called "Group of 4 @ 20 x 20". It is a show worth seeing. Ewa Bloch, Baltazar Castillo, Eulalio Fabie de Silva and Hiromi Tanaka will display recent paintings and lecture on their work.
Ewa Bloch has been a recognized figure in the Polish community, and is fast gaining artistic recognition with her lyric abstractions. Hiromi Tanaka exhibits paintings that speak about stumbled upon relationships based upon nature. Her compostitions are subtle and the colors nuanced. These two painters are evenly matched in their paint applications and color sensitivity.
Baltazar Castillo, a longtime resident of the Flat Iron Building's Wicker Park scene, is a multimedia artist whose images derive pleasure from their tactile sources. His paintings pay homage to Tamayo the field painters and assemblage works from the 60s.
Eulalio Fabie de Silva is a young painter whose sensual use of color and luscious application is simply great painting. He prefers to render the figure in an environment that is reminiscent of David Parks and early Diebenkorn, but goes beyond it to include plein aire landscapes. His career is worth watching.
The exhibition will take place at the Flat Iron Building, in Wicker Park (1579 N. Milwaukee Ave., Studio #220). Open house hours are Friday November 7, 6-10p, and Saturday November 8, 7-10:30p. The artists will be present to conduct informal lecture, readings from their journals and Tai Chi demonstrations. For more information about this exhibition contact 773-354-5868.

Did you even SEE the show/
For your information, E. Bloch had no such work as 'lyrical abstractions' in the exhibit. What she chose to show were conceptual photographs.
And the painting posted on your blog was not even in the show. It seems you chose to post this work based on your friendship w/ E. De Silva. Thats too bad as there were many worthy works to chose from.
Finally,your comments on my work as recalling Tamayo and /or certain works from the 1960s was innacurate, as my work in the show was Text based; (spun narratives) It has been for some time now. But you wouldnt know becasue you did not SEE the show.
So, thanks for nothing
Sincerely,
Baltazar Castillo
