Jennifer Basile – Tim Buwalda – Tony Vazquez-Figueroa
LnS Gallery is pleased to announce its participation EXPO CHICAGO 2022, where we will present fossil⸰eyes is a three-artist exhibition centered around the cyclical effects of the fossil fuel industry through a globalized lens, exposing our reliance and the inevitable, hastened fossilization of humankind due to negligence.
In a world of mass production and over-industrialization, dreams become shattered illusions within a fabricated socio-economic maze, and natural oases are poisoned, and left to disappear. The driving force behind this genuine dystopia is a hunger, addiction, and reliance on fossil fuels: the finite resource that powers modern-day reality. The works included in the exhibition highlight the terrarium created by a nations economic boom and bust at the whim of petroleum and its tangential industries that become icons of ‘success,’ juxtaposed with the intimidating yet the evanescent beauty of fading environments. The artistic visions of Jennifer Basile, Tim Buwalda, and Tony Vazquez- Figueroa focus on the varied aspects and effects of the same international addiction
