Now that you know that the exhibit has been extended to September 2021, listen to Bisa Butler talk about the inspirations behind some of her work as she tours her own exhibit, Bisa Butler: Portraits, at the Art Institute of Chicago.

 

Bisa Butler: Portraits, "the first solo museum exhibition of the artist’s work" which will feature over twenty of her portraits.

Wow! What an incredible piece of art. Not only is it gorgeous in its own beauty, but the use of color…from the fabric choices and incredible use of thread shows the talent involved. For me, this piece feels like I raided their family photo...

Wow! What an incredible piece of art. Not only is it gorgeous in its own beauty, but the use of color…from the fabric choices and incredible use of thread shows the talent involved. For me, this piece feels like I raided their family photo albums and pulled my favorite from the group. It captures real people and I think that is absolutely genius in this genre.

WOW! Incredible. The art promotes emotions, it's very powerful. My non-quilting DILs sister was in Chicago and saw it last week, she sent it to me because she was blown away. She thought quilts were the ones I make for my grands, had no idea of the artistic styles of quilts and how powerful they can be.

Thank you for featuring this video and Bisa Butler's work. My granddaughters like to "construct" fabric. I will share this and others videos which I enjoyed this morning with them when we can come together again and through FB.
