Dysgraphia is a project based on Jordan Martins’s interest in the Chicago-specific tradition of hand-painted, block-letter grocery signs which have come to be associated with Hispanic markets. By exaggerating the expressive colors and gestural rhythms of the original signs, Martins aims to build patters that simultaneously attract (fluorescent colors, bold shapes) and conceal (by undermining legibility). In this sense they are related both to natural camouflage and bright plumage used by animals to attract mates, or broader notions of visual stimuli to affect or sculpt behavior. This project began as a series of storefront installations.

saki is thrilled to present "Fug Comics," an exhibition of FugScreens comic-oriented prints.

"Fug Comics" is artwork by Zissou Tasseff-Elenkoff, the owner and operator of FugScreens Studios. Tasseff-Elenkoff specializes in commissioned gig posters and personally designed fine art prints. His fascination with color and form is expressed through his highly individualistic style. Tasseff-Elenkoff's work is acclaimed at an international level for his ability to impact and communicate with a varied audience. Tasseff-Elenkoff's latest endeavor is the opening of Galerie F, Chicago's latest art gallery and retail shop with an emphasis on printmaking and street art.

In 2012 alone, FugScreens has been represented around Chicago at Black Cloud Gallery, Maxwell Colette Gallery, I Am Logan Square, Chicago Journeyman Plumber's Union, and Strange Beauty Salon, as well as shows in Liverpool and London.

Please join us Saturday, September 15th from 6-9pm for the opening of "Fug Comics." Enjoy a great night of fine poster art, drink cool beverages from Finch's Beer Co. & Cellar Rat, and enjoy food provided by saki. This event is FREE.
