Short notice (for the opening anyway) but Lloyd Dobler Gallery is presenting a solo exhibition by Dmitry Samarov entitled Hack. The exhibit opens October 14 and runs through November 19. There will be an opening reception from 6-10 p.m. on Friday October 14 at Lloyd Dobler Gallery, 1545 W. Division, Second Floor in Chicago.
Samarov is an artist and writer and this exhibit is of drawings and paintings created while driving a taxi in Chicago. He has a recently published book on the subject, Hack: Stories From A Chicago Cab. A good deal of the paintings are gouache.

Samarov’s blog is also well worth a look. He was born in the Soviet Union and came to the USA in 1978. He received a BFA in painting and printmaking at the School of the Art Instituted. He then took that degree and hard work and began driving a cab.
His work has been shown all over Chicago and used in numerous publications. If you live in the city you have almost certainly seen it somewhere. I can barely imagine the horror of driving a cab in Chicago.
