She developed her form of abstraction – characterized by the dazzling interplay of pattern and hue – late in life, after retiring from a long career as a schoolteacher. Her vibrant and rhythmic art transcended established genres, incorporating elements of gestural abstraction and color field painting and creating a style distinctly her own.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Composing Color: Paintings by Alma Thomas</em>&nbsp;draws on the extensive holdings of the artist’s paintings at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) and offers an intimate view of Thomas’s evolving practice during her most prolific period, from 1959 to 1978.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1780429144/lm3tkozavq48kglg3y4z.jpg\"></p><p><br></p><h3><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/cheryl-pope\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Cheryl Pope</a></h3><p><br></p><p>Mar 28, 2026 - May 9, 2026</p><p><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/organizations/moniquemeloche\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">moniquemeloche</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(29, 29, 29);\">Cheryl Pope</strong><span style=\"color: rgb(29, 29, 29);\">&nbsp;is an interdisciplinary visual artist&nbsp;who&nbsp;questions and responds to issues of identity as it relates to the individual and the community, specifically&nbsp;regarding&nbsp;race, gender, class, history, power, and place. Her practice&nbsp;emerges&nbsp;from the act and politics of&nbsp;listening and&nbsp;recently introduces&nbsp;a novel&nbsp;material to explore the artist’s memories. Referencing the familiar repertoire of the French Post-Impressionist, Intimist, and Imagist paintings, Pope recreates deeply personal recollections that cinematically compose the silent complexities of beautiful and tragic oscillations between love and loss in our everyday lives. Images of couples are drawn from memory, referencing the artist’s own relationships and moments of disconnect, anxiety, and desire, while beach scenes depicting a mother and child accentuate a tender stillness of caregiving. In these scenes, the figures exist in a nest of choreography–a rotating stage of mystery, tragedy, and poetry of day-to-day living with feelings of presence and absence woven throughout.&nbsp;</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2>• Talks</h2><p><br></p><h3><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/ornament-identity-from-tiffany-studios-to-tattoo-studios\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ornament &amp; Identity: From Tiffany Studios to Tattoo Studios</a></h3><p><br></p><p>Thursday, Mar 5, 2026 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM</p><p><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/organizations/the-driehaus-museum\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Driehaus Museum</a></p><p><br></p><p>Join a conversation with tattoo artist Beth Mintzer&nbsp;and Elizabeth McGoey, Ann S. and Samuel M.
