Opening: Saturday December 16 @ 6 pm
Hobo 23 (Gregory Fitzsimmons) is a largely self-taught artist living and working in Chicago. He makes paintings, photo-collages, books, and short films. Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings at Uss Gallery, is a result of his use of walking as a psychedelic tactic. In his mid-40s, Hobo 23 returned to school and was awarded a Master of Fine Arts from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and B.A. from The School for New Learning at DePaul University. His work is inspired by the intermedia practice of Brion Gysin and the first-person cognitive experimental methods of scientist John C. Lilly.
