WELCOME TO GALLERY GUICHARD
Gallery Guichard Great Migration Sculpture Garden located at 446 E. 47th Street, Chicago, IL. 60653 Site of the former historic Palm Tavern .
Join us June 20, 2025, 6 pm to 9 pm for RECOTHEGREAT!
Chicago based artist Ahmad James Lee, known by Reco the Great, has taken the words of one of his artistic influences and crafted a compelling body of work that shares the outrageous through the transparent, panoramic lens of a brilliant, African American storyteller. No less a pop culture pirate, than Warhol before him, characters and constructs embedded in society's makeup receive a full spectrum color and creative treatment that dances on the lines of irreverent and immersive, which have become distinguishing hallmarks of his style.
We hope to see you for amazing new work and conversation by RECOTHEGREAT!
