In Mine (midnight) and Mine (morning), new collagraph transfer prints, Alex Chitty follows threads of knowledge and skill over time and media, transforming imagery from one of the world’s most known paintings into something novel and ethereal. Launching in an edition of six, the work was developed in studios at Ox-Bow and in Chicago.
At 3pm, the artist will talk with Cynthia Bond, law professor and writer, on topics related to originality and authorship.
Alex Chitty's exhibition Mine will be on view. It runs at Patron through August 16, 2025.

Alex Chitty (b. 1979, Little Havana, Miami, FL) grew up between the United States and Britain. Chitty studied theater, dance, literature, botany, marine biology, and fine art at Smith College (BFA, 2001) and earned her MFA (2008) from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Through shifts in context, display and function, Chitty’s practice draws attention to how gender, emotion, politics, and culture are intrinsically embedded in the images, objects, designs and overall infrastructure of our everyday surroundings. Her conceptually layered works combine multiple artistic disciplines, materials and techniques borrowed from both the hand-crafted and industrially produced. Chitty is a professor at SAIC in the Printmedia, Sculpture and Ceramic Departments. She has exhibited nationally and internationally at Abroms-Engel Institute for Visual Arts, PATRON Gallery, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, KMAC Museum, Elmhurst Art Museum, Corbett Vs. Dempsey, Hyde Park Art Center, Andrew Rafacz Gallery, DePaul Art Museum, NIU Art Museum, and LUCE Gallery. Chitty has upcoming exhibitions at PATRON Gallery (June, 2025) and The Cleve Carney Museum of Art (January, 2026).
