John Airo, Popular Multi-Media artist

John Airo is a Chicago-based artist whose work often reflects the city--good, bad and ugly.  He is a multi-media artist who creates everything from comics to large scale public art. His work often has a political bent and while Chicago is his focus he is not afraid to move far afield from the city when there is a subject he feels needs attention.

Airo sometimes uses found objects to paint on. His Chicago Flags series uses such items. His work can be seen at a number of Chicago’s drinking and music establishments. His work can be dark, it can be colorful.

He will be one of seven artists featured at Mapanare's first art show, Constantly, Consuming Culture--The Art Show on Saturday, September 7, 2013. Opening reception begins at 6:30 pm.
