Michael Klaus Schmidt
Exhibition “Visual Chant”
Michael Klaus Schmidt’s work as an attempt to strive for perfection and to connect with the beauty and intri-cacy found in both the macrocosm, the large forces of the universe, as well as the smallest things, the microcosm.
His subject matter include among other things celestial bodies, trees, and a hybrid architecture hinting at both Eastern and Western origins. These large shapes are covered in patterns and organic details, intricately rendered within layers of glue and paint. The details in his work represent those that we see all around us. Through his work, the artist asks us to look closely at a tree's bark, the skin of a salamander or the surface of a rock, where we will notice more and more intricacy. Another major influence in his work is the Islamic art of illumination found in some of the most ancient manu-scripts of the Quran. The decorative elements in this tradition represents a kind of visual chant, suggesting mysterious order by means of poetic geometric patterns. The artist has a long resume of exhibitions: Chicago, New Orleans, Toronto, San Francisco, London and Saudi Arabia. He is a member of the Elmhurst Artists Guild, and works as a freelance graphic designer and children's book author and illustrator. Visual Chant will be featured at the UIC Health in Arts Clinic from February 26th through May 26th (Monday – Friday 8:00 am – 4:00 pm/Wednesdays 8:00 am – 3:00 pm) The clinic is located at 835 S. Wolcott, on the UIC campus in Chicago, Illinois. A reception will be held from 5:30 – 8:30 pm on Friday, March 20th, the public is invited.

Tree sculptures on view include Oak Park sculptor, Margot McMahon's avian-themed tree "Flock" featuring large blue song birds in flight in a grand old elm in Jackson Park. On Sunday, March 22nd the Oak Park Art League will be hosting a bus tour of the Chi-cago Tree Project with Margot McMahon providing narrative. The tour will conclude at the Oak Park Art League with a private viewing of the March exhibition "Nature Untamed" in OPAL's historic carriage house gallery, where pizza and refreshments will also be served. *Bus will depart from the Oak Park Art League at 1:00 pm and return at 5:00 pm
