GBS Fine Art @ Expo Chicago 2025

GBS Fine Art will be presenting a booth (#140) that highlights different and intriguing contemporary approaches to landscape and the depiction of the natural world. All the artists we are bringing harness widely variant media from the traditional to the high tech, encompassing along the way video/film, photography, painting, sculpture and drawing. What is more, how these artists engage with the natural world about us is fundamentally unique to each of them; their experience of it, and therefore the stories they are telling, veer widely, in both emphasis and emotive power, from the observational to the metaphysical. 

Two of the artists on show, photographer Harry Cory Wright (UK) and artist/film-maker Jeffrey Blondes (US) have both recently completed projects in the US, works from which we will unveil exclusively at EXPO Chicago. Cathy de Monchaux (UK), a Turner Prize nominee in the late 90s with a solo show at the Hirschhorn Museum in DC under her belt, has harnessed 3-D technology to bring a sculpture first made in 1984 back to life in bronze to be presented for the first time in 40 years at the Chicago fair. Hugh Hamshaw Thomas also will be showing work specifically created in the US, an homage to the landscape architect, Frederick Olmsted. Our other artists - Sue Bryan (Ireland/US), Jeremy Dickinson (UK), Georgia Moors (UK), Magnus Petersson (Sweden), Gill Rocca (UK), Richard John Seymour (UK), Emma Tod (UK) and Harriet White (UK) - all create work informed by close scrutiny, by memory, even by myth; their approaches and the media they employ may differ significantly but their affinity is exemplary execution.
