The Copley Society of Art is proud to present Miniature Moments, a solo show of encaustic works by Robin Samiljan in the Red Room Gallery.

The smaller gallery space in the Red Room combined with the small-scale size of Samiljan’s works promises to be an intimate viewing experience. Samiljan’s subject matter varies between between natural landscapes and urban Chicago scenes. Regardless of the subject, the common denominator is bold layers of colors.

Samiljan’s inspiration comes from the relationship between people, places and things. In her words, “My artistic goal when I paint miniature works is to carry the viewer on a tangible, unexpected journey.” Inspired by the Thorne Miniature Rooms on her visits to the Art Institute of Chicago growing up, she strives to create small works of art with the same intricate attention to details.

The Copley Society of Art (Co|So), America’s oldest non-profit arts organization, is committed to the advancement, enjoyment, and promotion of its member artists and the visual arts. The organization, founded in 1879, comprises juried artists who are selected by a credentialed art committee. Co|So provides artists with a gallery for exhibiting and selling their work and a platform for engaging and educating the community.
