Erik "RISK" DeBat at Howard Street Gallery



Chicago artist Erik DeBat currently has a solo show up at Howard Street Gallery.  Tomorrow Thursday will be a reception for his work as well as the release of a limited edition "RISK" t-shirt by Grime Time.  


Erik has a long art history in Chicago going back to his roots in graffiti writing the name "RISK" in the 80's and 90's.  He's been creating contemporary work on canvas as well as drawings on paper and other installations for the past two decades, participating in shows at the Hyde Park Art Center, Firecat Projects, the Chicago Cultural Center, CISA Gallery, the Swope Art Museum, and other galleries.

Howard Street Gallery is a new space in Evanston located on Howard directly across the street from Chicago's northern border.  Specializing in street and contemporary art as well as outsider artists, Howard Street Gallery also carries books, prints, art supplies, paint by Belton and Montana, art and photo zines, as well as t-shirts and clothing by Grime Time and other Chicago artists.

Howard Street Gallery is an awesome place to share art and enjoy it in its pure appearance. I've been there many times and haven't fed up with it. It's unique every time I come.
