Top Chicago Exhibitions: Frida Kahlo, Michi Meko, and More
Art is in full bloom across the Windy City this spring. For those planning to attend this year’s Expo Chicago, the unforgettable exhibitions don’t stop there—Whitewall has curated a list of must-see shows.
Atlanta-based artist Michi Meko unveils his first solo exhibition at Mariane Ibrahim with Under the Flickering Light of the North Star. The show features both canvas and paper works, offering abstract landscape paintings inspired by the American South. Mekos art pulses between stillness and bursts of energy—dim and moody followed by bright and vibrant hues. His pieces function as emotional maps, plotting emotions and histories across canvas and paper, revealing the complex relationship between nature and human presence.
