about the exhibition

A trio of Milwaukee-connected artists -- all of them twenty-somethings and largely underknown in the city's art community -- move a bit farther out from the shadows with his exhibition.

Tyanna J. Buie, a printmaker who recently received her MFA from the University of Wisconsin, presents a narrative of large-scale silkscreen and collaged prints that carry echoes of her early girlhood when she was shuttled from one foster home to another. Luis Galvez's paintings -- sometimes macabre, sometimes humorous, sometime both -- radiate a magical realism that may be close in tone to that misting from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novels. Dane Haman's primary subject appears to be the day to dayness of life in Wisconsin, but his color and black and white photographs reveal the state's culture with a vision that is fresh and frequently idiosyncratic.
