Philip Schorn

April 5 – April 27

Opening Reception: April 5, 6-8pm

Gallery Night: April 18, 6-7pm

Join Adler Artist Member and Faculty, Philip Schorn to celebrate the wonderful world of color pencil. From floral renderings at Chicago Botanical Gardens, to expressive pencil paintings in the style of Monet, this show is the work of a master.
PHILIP SCHORN ARTIST STATEMENT:
My art is not just another drawing, it is a fine art. With color pencils, I have the ability to create the shape, color and detail I envision in my art. I focus on realism and to put in as much detail as possible. I want the viewer to see more than they thought was there. I like to take what may be considered ordinary and make extraordinary.
I have done numerous group & solo shows, demonstrations, workshops and outdoor art fairs. I have published two books of my art with drawing techniques and tips, “Life is in the Details” and “Life is in the Details Vol II” My art has been featured in Art Publications, Newspapers and Television.
