CHICAGO –  As a kickoff to Lollapalooza, Hilton | Asmus Contemporary, 716 N. Wells,  is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of paintings and collages by ROBERT FLEISCHMAN, recording artist/singer/songwriter/producer, who played with such notable bands as Journey, Vinnie Vincent, Channel and his current band, The Sky.  Robert penned some of Journey's biggest hits such as "Wheel In the Sky" "Anytime" and "Winds of March" on the multiplatinum "Infinity" album and the band became a legendary success.  In 2005, Journey and Robert were recognized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 2016, they were inducted into the Rock n’Roll Hall of Fame. ​

At the age of 13, Robert began experimenting with his growing love for art by assembling collages that depicted surrealistic imagery interacting with environments that seemed to come through other dimensions of time and space, challenging and inviting the viewer to share in his unique vision. Soon he began creating musical representations of his art. From painting to collage, digital art and sculpting he has remained a unique, relevant and important figure within the art and music world.

“The best part of showing Robert's work is that he was actually an artist before he became a rock star, “ states Arica Hilton, president of Hilton Asmus Contemporary. “We often find that artists are multi-dimensional in their talents to express, create and take our breath away in ways we don't expect. "World in My Eyes" is just that, a poetic vision of the world that takes a journey into a myriad of places, from sun, sky, stars and constellations to figures that are flying into space or falling out of space; to the symbolism of fruit, birds, dancers and other iconic images all reaching for something.”   ​

With a gentle and introspective presence, his work is a collage of artfully composed images created on his smartphone. Yes, SMARTPHONE!  Many of the images were fashioned on that magical, mystical communication device that many of us have become addicted to.  During his opening, Robert will recount his voyage from artist/musician in Chicago to becoming a member of one of the most recognized rock bands of all time and back full circle to where it all began.

Preview reception:  Wednesday, August 2 • 5:30 to 9:00 pm
Opening reception:  Friday, August 4  • 5:30 to 8:00 pm
Show runs thru August 24, 2017
