In the tradition of great American satirists, Tom Torluemke’s works on paper provide an unflinching, satirical perspective on society’s ills. Thanks to his detailed acrylic paintings, which explore societal issues with the steadfast attention of a dedicated humanist, Torluemke's name is well-known among Chicago art enthusiasts. Live! showcases his often-overlooked works on paper, highlighting 40 years of Torluemke’s imaginative flair and technical skill.
