Chicago Artist Andrew Young Exhibits at Oakton

Andrew Young: Harbour, an exhibition expressing a reverence for nature, opens Thursday, Dec. 8, at Oakton Community College's Koehnline Museum of Art, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines. A free reception with light refreshments is scheduled 5 - 8 p.m. The exhibit runs through Friday, Jan. 27, 2006.

Young, a Chicago-based artist, uses natural pigments to stain rice and Bristol papers to assemble precise geometric shapes using imaginary plant forms, flowers, and insect illustrations. His work expresses genuine concern about the destructive consequences of human beings becoming disconnected from the natural world and each other.

The exhibit is free and open to the public. Museum hours are 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, call 847-635-2633, or visit www.oakton.edu/museum.
