Daily Impressions by Misha Goro, Addington Gallery, Chicago
danaddington.com
September 6 – October 25, 2024
The show has presented 12 recent oil paintings with the unifying theme of the mundane. As a longtime Chicago resident, I find it inspiring to go through my daily routine. Surrounded by buildings and exposed to the same elements, I draw inspiration from my daily walks and from riding my bicycle, as much as from going to the opera or the museums.

Union League Club of Chicago

February of 2018 and December 2021
I was awarded two solo shows at the legendary Union League Club of Chicago. I felt particularly honored to show my work at the Club because of its history and its involvement in the arts ever since it was founded in 1879.
The Club’s art collection includes works by several important and influential artists, particularly from the 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Claude Monet, Grant Wood, George Bellows, and John Singer Sargent.
My exhibitions turned out to be the most successful in terms of sales since the beginning of the exhibition program at the Club. The program features a diverse range of exhibitions, from solo shows to group exhibitions, and has become a significant part of the Club’s identity.

Van Roey
Curated by Em. Prof. Hugo U. Besard
GROEP VAN ROEY, one of the biggest building companies in Belgium participates in the International Graphic Project. Every year 7 artists get invited to produce two etchings for the collection. I was honored to be one of this distinguished group in 2020. The project became truly international because it was initiated in Belgium, I have produced the plates during my residency at Il Besonte in Florence, the addition was printed in Portugal, and I signed the prints while back in Chicago.

The show is curated by Ben Shattuck, the gallery’s lead curator.
I was invited to take part in the exhibition of Eastern European artists, to which I contributed three urban paintings of St. Petersburg, the city of my birth. I found it particularly meaningful to create this body of work because it set my mind down memory lane. I welcomed the chance to re-experience my childhood memories and relate to them as an adult.
