House of Blues Chicago

In Wednesday’s fieldtrip we visited the House of Blues which is located in the historic Marina City near the Chicago Rive. It is a very modern building with a semicircular arch of roof which is a complement to the buildings around it. However when we entered in, we was shocked by its out of stereotypical feeling. Mysterious Eastern Buddhism aroma was coming to us. Exquisite Tibet and Nepal style of decoration inside let me not believe that I was not in Chicago. It not only offers the food and beverage, entertainment, but also is an art gallery. There are numerous paintings and sculptures hanging and putting in every wall, approach, and corner. It was worth visiting the house of Blues which mixed the East mystically with the western modern style.

Don Eddy. New Shoes for H

Don Eddy. New Shoes for H
This painting was drawing in the 1973- 1974 by Don Eddy whose obstreperous spirit let him look beyond abstraction and developed his own innovative responses to early modernism. He was a typical artist of Photorealism. He used photograph as the subject of itself painting instead of photograph as the sketch of the primary way of gathering visual information. In this painting, Don Eddy created fascinated result by window’s transparent and reflective with the double layer of information that the windows offered. His painting looks like picture, but its hallucinatory is over the picture. I am attracted by this fascinating design, creative mind and striving to make inventions. His successful experience led to understanding of the traditions as a formal discipline and personal expression as a powerful form. It can open the door to innovation.
