Artist Laura Lein-Svencner at Chicago showroom until November 1 : Thos. Moser

Auburn, Maine (September 2006 ) – As part of our “alternative gallery space” program, which highlights national and local artists in each of our showrooms, we are please to announce that our Chicago showroom will feature the work of Illinois based collage artist Laura Lein-Svencner. The works will be on display at the showroom through November 1, 2006.

“Laura Lein-Svencner’s works are incredibly powerful, they compliment our pieces and are an exciting addition to our Chicago showroom,” says Kristi Kamps, vice president of marketing at Thos. Moser. “Our six showrooms across the U.S. use art to provide an additional and unique visual element, as well as to create a place for art lovers to view and enjoy compelling works. Our furniture, which is beautiful, handmade art in its own right, creates a wonderful synergy with the pieces that we feature.”

Lein-Svencer’s collages are compilations of layered images, photo transfers, recycled and found objects as well as acrylics arranged to create an emotional connection. “My intention is to connect objects and images, triggering old memories, intertwining our past with our future to form rich stories of emotional texture,” states artist Laura Lein-Svencner. “I relate to the diversity of our every day lives with an intention of mystery, taking risks with materials and concepts.”

Our Chicago showroom is located at the Tree Studios at 670 North State Street in Chicago. For more info call 312-867-4900.
