International Art Fairs are known for their monstruous large spaces, large scale installations and visually mesmerizing works. For the new edition of Expo Chicago 2015, I decided to focus on the opposite. That is to say, small, quiet, intimate but yet excellent works. These small treasures were sometimes hidden in-between the “look-at-me” attention grabbing works or in a corner of the booth. I must say that I enjoyed my findings and I hope you do as well.  Click on image to enlarge and appreciate the detail.
