the new issue is finally here.
http://issuu.com/splatartmagazine/docs/splatartmagazineissue6

Happy new year to all you people who are reading this.a new year is upon us and we have nothing better to do but to learn something new, be good to each other and take care of everything we need to take care of whether it be ourselves, the earth, finding new ways to drive our big expensive cars, or clean up the messes that we've made. whether it be our lives or someone elses lives or the world that we live in. think for yourselves when you think...and please think often. we bring you the winter issue of splat art magazine. no this issue probably clean up anything but it may want you to learn something new or to help someone out that is learning something new. it may even inspire you to to buy some art...or better yet buy some of the art from an artist that is in here. it may even make you like poetry. i guess basically what i'm getting at is the new year is the place and time for a new beginning, so you messed up last year..well learn and don't mess up this year..but probably the year after one of us will mess up again...probably me...or maybe you. the trick of the trade is to know when we get a fresh start and to make the most out of it. too many people don't get off their arses and try new things, they don't try to create the ideas that are in their head..instead they sit around..some complain..some drink to an alarming excess and most are sad or unhappy. don't let this be you and i will do my best to make that no t  be me..you got my word on that. speak your mind and put your best foot forward. so happy reading and happy viewing this delicious eye candy.

2012: Abundant Affliction An Exhibit by Aaron Wooten and CJ Hungerman January 9-30, 2012/Opening Reception: Friday January 13, 6-10PM Chicago, Il.




Chicago, IL—The HumanThread Center in Pilsen’s Chicago Arts District is joined by artists Aaron Wooten and CJ Hungerman this January for the next exhibition in its thought-provoking series. Celebrating a culture of peace, HumanThread expresses Chicago’s creative culture by curating monthly exhibitions that discuss issues of cultural identity and social importance.

2012: Abundant Affliction, which runs January 9-30, is a provocative collection of work by Aaron Wooten and CJ Hungerman emphasizing the absurd but common ­practices of governments and institutions that inflict rote discontent throughout society. The exhibition juxtaposes the distinctively divergent styles that Wooten and Hungerman employ to address the issues afflicting society. Wooten’s political satire has a nostalgic presence that criticizes current affairs while Hungerman’s mechanical motifs express the tedious and unfulfilling roles we assume that create stress and dissatisfaction in our individual existences.

The opening reception is January 13 from 6-10PM in association with The Chicago Arts Districts 2nd Friday Gallery Night. The exhibition is open by appointment January 9-30.

Aaron Wooten and CJ Hungerman are local Chicago artists. After pursuing a film degree, Wooten discovered painting in 2002 and has since exhibited in many festivals and exhibitions in Chicago. Hungerman earned a MFA in Painting and Design from Northern Illinois University and currently works as an independent artist and designer in a variety of media including drawing, printmaking, street art and installation.
