(is it) Enough? brings together artists Paul Wear and Andrea Jablonski in a compelling exhibition at Oliva Gallery. Their works explore the convergence of form, culture, and innovative materials to question how we interpret beauty, tradition, and environment in contemporary art.
About the Artists
Paul Wear: A Midwest native, Wear’s abstract paintings pulse with Chicago’s architectural energy. Known for his vibrant use of color against dark, textured surfaces, his work emerges through a unique technique of layering and intricate mark-making, channeling the city’s dynamism into each canvas.
Andrea Jablonski: Drawing from her Polish heritage and materials from her commercial work, Jablonski’s sculptures blend tradition and industrial remnants. Her RYA knot-tying technique brings heritage into modern art, using braiding and soft structures to create thought-provoking works that engage with identity, sustainability, and innovation.
