CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, August 24, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — HAUPTSCHEIN / SEGEDIN: SELF PORTRAITS
Exhibition at Rare Nest Gallery Chicago / Opening September 10th, 2022
Rare Nest Gallery presents a two-person exhibition of self-portraits by Leo Segedin and David Hauptschein.
Both artists have engaged in deep explorations of self-representation that combine introspection and extraversion.
Both artists face challenges in age, vision, ableness, and a fear of invisibility. What can we learn from their perspectives? Hauptschein (71) and Segedin (95) overcome substantial challenges with their vision. Segedin was diagnosed with dry macular degeneration over a decade ago. Hauptschein, 72, developed an undiagnosed eye ailment, which makes it difficult for him do eye-straining work. Courageous artists accommodating age with disability, adaptation, and the enduring, triumphant impulse to create are explored in this exhibition. The exhibition will be accompanied by additional complementary events and visits to the artists’ studios.
