Orland Park Photographer's Work On Display In Three Galleries

ORLAND PARK, IL — Artwork by Orland Park photographer and visual artist, Peter Bosy, is on display in three area galleries: Orland Park Public Library, Robert F. DeCaprio Art Gallery at Moraine Valley, and the Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago.

At OPPL, 14921 S Ravinia Ave., visitors will see 17 photos that comprise the "Made by Hand," exhibit, which is a tribute to his father who worked with the pictured tools starting in the 1940's. Original tools including saws, wrenches, brushes and more, which are treated like abstract works of art and reveal the patina of well-worn tools used by a manual laborer. This exhibit is especially poignant during the month of June, when we celebrate Father's Day. This exhibit ends June 30.

At DeCaprio Art Gallery, 9000 W. College Parkway, Bldg. F, in Palos Hills, Bosy's detailed graphite pencil drawing entitled, "Celebrate," was selected to appear with several other art pieces in the annual Juried Community Art Exhibition. “Celebrate” took first place in the juried community art show that runs through July 31. The gallery summer hours are Monday to Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

At Bridgeport Art Center (BAC), 1200 W 35th St, Chicago, Bosy's abstract graphite drawing entitled, "Vessels," appears with an array of other artists' works that were selected for the 12th Annual Juried Art Competition. His photorealistic drawing style leaves one asking - "is this a drawing or a photo?" The BAC show runs to July 5 in the 4th Floor Galleries, at 1200 W. 35th St., Chicago, Hours are noted at: https://www.bridgeportart.com/plan-visit/

Bosy is a photographer and visual artist who also taught studio lighting at College of DuPage and at other area schools before the COVID pandemic. His current art projects range from photorealism to drawing and sketching. View his work at: www.peterbosy.com

"It’s wonderful to see my work appreciated from being showcased in these Southland locations," Bosy said. "New acquaintances have already formed—art is a great collaborator."
