Richard Wetzel: Recent Paintings
November 12, 2026 – January 9, 2027
Corbett vs. Dempsey, 2156 W. Fulton St, Chicago, IL 60612
In the North Gallery, Corbett vs. Dempsey is delighted to present Recent Paintings, an exhibition of new work by Richard Wetzel. This is the gallery’s fourth solo show with the artist. For more than six decades, Richard Wetzel’s work has addressed the fundamental issue raised by collage: hybridity. From collages he first made in the early 1960s, using an exacto to abstract extant etchings, through back-printed plexiglass works he showed later that decade as a member of the Nonplussed Some, Wetzel’s formative work has investigated methods and results of conjoining unlike things.
