Picture Pages

Artist Paul Greco uses mixed media--such as old Disney cartoons and Dick and Jane characters juxtaposed with scenes of skyscrapers and nuclear weapons--to illustrate his philosophy that life was just as hard and confusing in past decades as it is now. For instance, one of Greco's pieces, "All God's Children Have Guns," depicts several children playing without a care as they hang from the guns of tanks and climb on missiles. Check out this eye-pleasing and thought-provoking artwork at the Janette Kennedy Gallery at South Side on Lamar. The exhibit, The Social Classification of Pigs, will run Saturday through July 31 and admission is free. Exhibit hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
