About the Exhibit:

A landscape painter, artist Francis Zaander finds intrinsic connections between the natural and the man-made in paintings that combine a specificity of place with larger themes of belonging, spirituality, and reflection on where home is. Zaander's recent work follows a personal exploration of the American landscape, from the Midwest to the West Coast and back. His first solo-exhibition in Chicago, “Field Guide to North American Happiness” includes a selection of 23 paintings on paper and panel, many created on site in the Olympic Peninsula between 2018 and 2021. On view through April 9, 2022.
