Rine Boyer vs. Meg Frazier  score Meg 107 RINE 102 

 

.  Rine Boyer has worked as a Chicago artist and has gathered quite a following. Here’s what people have to say about her work…. Rine Boyer vs Meg Frazier - Her art has a distinctly unpretentious Midwestern flavor – one might even say it is a Chicago flavor in that the people she paints have a casualness of bearing, the feeling of being unaware of how they look in other people’s eyes. - Robert Kameczura - SOBS.org -The images are humorous, thoughtful, and refreshingly unpretentious. - Anna Fixsen, Chicago Weekly

 

Meg Frazier is an artist, teacher and entrepreneur. She has a passion for understanding differentiated learners and relaying ways they can use their strengths to enhance divergent and creative thinking. More importantly, Meg has a deep desire to understand what her learners are passionate about and how art can help them tap into those ideas on a deeper level.

 

Rescue or Destroy Tournament: Round Two March 6th 8-11pm

 

Ryan Blume is aYogi artist who tries to infuse the philosophy of nature into his art. "So this is a poem about my work/process….’Flow: Infinite complexity, constantly changing, controlled chaos.’”

 

Jason Davis is a contractor by day: Artist by night. And it’s his night job that frees his mind. “The images that came out were things that were fun to twist and eventually they twisted themselves showing me things."

 

 

 

 

Rescue or Destroy Presents! - Ryan Shultz vs Ma Tæo Chicago, IL

 

- February 10, 2014 - 

 

The premier event features Mateo and Ryan Shultz. Both artists are primed and ready to rock.

 

 About this week’s artists…

 

Mateo is a Chicago-based photographer who focuses on capturing the essence of the artist/auteur and members of the LBGTQ community. Pulling influence from the queer artists he surrounds himself with as well as trans-gender movements of the past and present. “My work is a queer approach to fashion photography. I work within the avant-garde underground art scene in Chicago.” -

 

M Ryan Shultz is a mostly self-taught oil painter who captures moments in peoples’ lives that are usually private, not meant to be noticed. He’s a classicist with the curiosity of an urban documentary filmmaker. He paints the beauty and the ugly truth of the human condition. "I don’t want my paintings to look like they were painted 200 years ago. Maybe the surface quality might look that way, but the subject matter is modern.” -

 

 

RS Rescue or Destroy is a bi-weekly art tournament featuring 16 Chicago-based artists. Events are held every first Thursday and second Saturday from February 22nd through Aug 20 at Gallery Bar, 738 N. Clark St., Chicago.
