Exhibition at Intuit

On January 26, 2018 was the opening reception for Stephen Warde Anderson: Attention to Detail, an exhibition at Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art, 756 N.Milwaukee Ave.,Chicago IL.   The show features more than three dozen samples of my early, tempera/gouache paintings (1980s and 90s) borrowed from Chicago area collections.  It was curated by Mike Noland and Keith Sadler.  Mike, a superb artist from Woodstock IL, is a long-time friend, as is Keith, who possesses the largest collection of my work.  They did a great job: I was very pleased with the installation and how my work was presented.  (Many of the pieces I have not seen for 25 years or more)!  During the reception I was able give a talk about my work to a surprisingly large audience.   The show will be up until May 13th.  Here are some installation shots and images of a few of the paintings in the show.
