Artist Info: Recognized as one of the leading Chicago Imagist artists, Ed Paschke's works have recently emphasized such themes as violence and religion, which are, according to Paschke, an "exploratory reaction to movies and television." His distorted, video-like figures reflect his ongoing interest in the electronic media and mass communication. Over the past twenty years Paschke's work has been shown around the United States as well as Paris, Tokyo and Sao Paolo.
