Daniel Champion (b. 1998, Berkely, CA) is a Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist. He received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2020, and has been featured in exhibitions at Latent Space, Good Mother Studio, Sulk Chicago, EXPO  (via LVL3 and SoHo House), and Circle Contemporary. Champion’s work focuses on creating meta-textual dialogues between film, painting, illustration, and sculpture, from both fine art and pop cultural sources. With a voice both satirical and sincere, he brings autobiographical emotion to expressionistic paintings and sculptures. In addition to maintaining a studio practice, his debut feature film has finished production and will premiere in 2025. Champion is currently producing a series of etchings as an artist in residence at Pigeon Hole Press.

Jeffrey Charles (b. 1961, Joliet, IL) is a Chicago-based artist and prog/experimental rock musician. Spanning the last 23 years, his work is rooted in a series of early unsettling experiences from childhood. He describes his images as “id vomit,” a process where his personal history is subconsciously resurrected onto canvas as monstrous characters from his past. In the absence of formal art education, Charles has developed his craft outside traditional institutions—a practice rooted in disassociation, self-teaching, and an eagerness to learn. Through his art, Charles yearns to foster a connection with others who have endured and persevered. This exhibition is the largest display of Charles' work to-date.
