Chicago artist Elijah Burgher

Local artist Elijah Burgher has already been mentioned on Occult Chicago on at least two separate occasions, so it seemed time to dedicate a post to him.

Burgher works with tools such as sigilization to produce magical-personal works of art.  He has recently shown at Western Exhibitions (at the same time as Black Thorns in the White Cube) and as part of Homoccult & Other Esoterotica.

Chicago's Occult Artists

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

"...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.
