Chastain Arts Center is pleased to announce Cosmo Whyte | Don’t Whistle in the House, a solo exhibition. This show presents drawings, installation, photography and mixed media paintings. The exhibit will feature new works created to explore notions of identity as disrupted by migration.
Cosmo Whyte is a Georgia based artist living in Atlanta. His most recent work references bodies of water as liminal, transitional spaces with allusions to international trade, human migration, and liberation. Rituals, and their displacement, erasure, and adaptation also enter the work as generative sites of intervention, and as stages for performing and experiencing place-less-ness.
Visit the Chastain Arts Center Gallery, to view Cosmo Whyte| Don’t Whistle in the House. The exhibition is free and open to the public. The Opening Reception is Friday, August 25 from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM and the Artist Talk is Saturday, September 16 at 1:00 PM. The events will be in the Chastain Arts Center Gallery at 135 West Wieuca Road, NW Atlanta, GA 30342.

Chastain Arts Center is pleased to announce Hebru Brantley | Clay Pigeons, a solo exhibition. This show presents new drawings, paintings and sculpture depicting his characters inspired by the Tuskegee Airman. This exhibit will feature new works created to present energetic narratives infused with fantastical fiction based on actual life experiences.
Chicago artist, Hebru Brantley, breaks down the walls of cultural boundaries through his art, inspired by his 1980’s Chicago upbringing. Brantley’s work touches on subjects of history, politics, and race in a way that is easily digestible to the viewer; by telling his stories through youthful characters created by the artist. Brantley’s work can be described as contemporary art inspired by Japanese anime and the bold aesthetics of street art pioneers Jean Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.
Visit the Chastain Arts Center Gallery, to view Hebru Brantley/Clay Pigeons. Both events are free and open to the public. The Opening Reception is Friday, June 16th from 6:30 PM until 9:00 PM and the Artist Talk is Saturday, June 17 at 2:30 PM.

Chastain Arts Center is pleased to announce Sarah Hobbs | Susie Winton: Perspectives of the Unexpected. This exhibition explores the contrast and similarity between both artists’ works of art. While different in scale, the work is connected through concept.
Participating Artists:
Susie Winton presents mixed media photographs of a disregarded view. Captured throughout her travels, the photographs were taken inadvertently or are partially obscured by an errant thumb or finger. They are presented in a small format which invites the viewer to examine the subjects closely, while elevating the neglected to a coveted view.
Sarah Hobbs presents extravagant installations of a visual example of neuroses. The work presents the question of our domestic spaces and what that space reflects about us. It poses the question of the psychology within our personal spaces. We live our fixations even when we are consciously trying to overcome them. Often presented in domestic spaces, the photographs present a contemporary view of obsession.
July 17 through September 12, 2015
