RE-BOP!: Obstructions and Disruptions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the Simmerling Gallery in the Beverly Arts Center in Chicago, Illinois, USA
11 July-22 August 2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“RE-BOP! Obstructions & Disruptions” embraces the unexpected through visual, rhythmic, emotional, and conceptual disruptions. “RE-BOP!” is the third iteration of “Bop!”, the celebrated collage exhibition series conceived initially by artist Tony Fitzpatrick, showcasing the parallel ideas of flow in both music and collage, where intuition, playful abandon, and spur-of-the-moment change and happenstance are embraced with artistic fervor and verve. “RE-BOP!” looks at the notion of unexpected, disrupted, and obstructed collage-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
