Mark Wojahn presents 9 new photo paintings that explore portraits and film stills from the silent film era.The title of the work, ‘Silver Nitrate’ refers to the fragile film stock that was used in silent films. The film itself was very flammable and decayed after a short time.The antique process Wojahn uses in the paint finishes is a nod or compliment if you will,to the natural decay of the film but also how many of these gods of their time have now faded into obscurity.  801 Washington Lofts presents art openings three times a year in their Art at 801 Gallery.The three-story atrium and public space at 801 Washington Avenue North in The North Loop Neighborhood is a gallery to local and national artists. Join us for bites, beverages, wine from North Loop Wine & Spirits, Music by   DJ Ryan Simatic  & an evening of art by these fine artists: For future shows at Art at 801 Gallery please sign up at:http://www.801washingtonlofts.org/art-at-801
