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.
