I am very happy to share this card announcement for my forthcoming major one-person exhibition, Interpolations, New Large-scale Work by Michael K. Paxton, that will open at the Evanston Art Center main floor gallery February 27 and run through April 4, 2021. An extensive brochure will be available at the exhibition and a virtual Artist Talk will take place March 5, 2021 from 5:30-6:30pm in support of this new work. This exhibition will mark my third major one-person museum scale exhibition of new work in four years and will also mark my 40th anniversary of showing in Chicago.
