Lynnette Astaire is a Chicago born portrait artist based in New York City. Since receiving her BFA from School of Visual Arts (NYC), her poppy, conceptual, and sensational portraits have awarded her a growing cult following in Europe and has landed her domestic clients such as Penguin Publishing and Rocafella Records. She has been profiled in Picture Magazine as up and coming talent and her work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, NYC and Beijing. This marks her first solo show in Chicago.
The exhibition will open Saturday November 3rd and close November 30th at solemates, a premier sneaker consignment and clothing boutique located in the Lincoln Park shopping district. Solemates serves as the newest concept shop from the Brooklyn Circus, which also has outposts in New York and San Francisco. Since the grand opening in July of 2007, husband and wife team Brian and Autumn Merritt have offered brands such as WESC, Cazal, Nike, Alife, and Cheap Monday to the burgeoning streetwear scene in the Windy City.
In commemoration of the project, solemates… and Lynnette Astaire will release a limited edition “CHI GOT COBBS” logo tee on opening night. Featured prints from the show will also be on sale.
Opening reception is from 6-10 at Solemates…Chicago
