My first and last sighting of Solve in the flesh was slam dunking his patented sticker on a CTA bus sign at what has been referred to as "Solve height." A lanky, beanpole of a man, Solve's inconspicuous infiltration of the city landscape seemed almost impossible by nature. But even after his tragic and untimely death, his imprint still ghosts the bike and bus paths for us urban denizens to appreciate and intake on a daily basis. Brendon Scanlon has become the patron saint of not only street art in Chicago but of any street level dweller willing to navigate the grime and grit.
The Country Club in conjunction with RGB presents a retrospective of Solve's art on January 16th. It runs through the 22nd.
