Chicago's Occult Artists

An article by from Chicago Art Magazine by Chicago local Stephanie Cristello.

http://chicagoartmagazine.com/2011/10/a-bare-sleight-of-hand-chicago’s-occult-artists/

"...from reference to occult superstition, mysticism, alchemy, and ritualistic processes, many young Chicago artists have cultivated a niche of counterculture aesthetics that are rapidly gaining popularity."

Includes mention of Corkey Sinks, Elijah Burgher and Ivan Lozano.
