  • Recklessly Optimistic by Adrian Hatfield – Opening Reception

    Chimaera Gallery 3502 Scotts Lane #2113, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Adrian Hatfield makes work addressing his anxiety about our current environmental crisis, balanced by hope that humanity can rise to meet the challenge. The paintings convey those experiences in tension: dread, splendor, joy, terror, wonder and the absurdity of human inaction. Their iconography samples and ?recombines elements from art history, scientific illustration, pop culture and satire, with a goal of existing somewhere between a requiem, a science fiction fever dream, and a call-to-arms. Opening Reception: Saturday, July 13, 6-8:30 p.m. Closing Reception: Saturday, August 31, 6-8:30 p.m. Gallery Hours: Saturdays 12-4 p.m., or by appointment chimaeragallery.com hello@chimaeragallery.com 3502 Scotts Lane,
