Art by RenO
RenO Franczek has been painting and sculpting since 1996. His work has been displayed at the Lollapalooza Music Festival and the Congress Theater in Chicago, as well as the Acorn Theater and Gallerie Stoodeeooh in southwest Michigan. In the past few years, as well as painting, he's working on several series of bronze sculptures and collaborating as drummer for a local band called OnekO.
Rick Roste And ONEKO
Rick Roste grew up in Chicago and has made music a strong influence in his life outside of his career in neurosciences. He sees parallels between music and the electrical impulses he detects in his patients brains. His musical influences are Tortoise, Fugazi, Wilco and the White Stripes to name just a few. In the past, he has been the guitarist for several Chicago bands, but now spearheads the band OnekO.
Art by Charlie Oliver Price III
Charlie Oliver Price III is a portrait artist who began drawing at the age of 8. He would draw objects that he found around the house, then moved on to drawing people with accuracy. Many of his pupils and teachers in school were impressed by his work which furthered his motivation to continue drawing throughout his life. He graduated in 1979 from the University of California, Berkeley with a B.A. in Fine Arts, and owned a graphics arts business from 1980-1983 called “Art by Design”. Over the years, Charlie has been a teacher, counselor, graphic artist, candle maker, laborer, and musician. Besides dedicating his energy to art and drawing, he also competed in boxing, baseball, and basketball. He’s proud to tell you he was the 1976-7, middleweight, UCB champion. Now though, he uses all his power to “render the most realistic portraits that I can…to focus my consciousness in the most satisfying and lasting form”.
