Alan Pocaro reviews Mimi Lauter: Carnival of Musical Echo at Shane Campbell Gallery, Chicago, on view through October 3, 2015.
Pocaro writes that Lauter's works "are a rare combination of frenzied, physical immediacy tempered by meticulous formal complexity, and feature an elusive narrative with roots in modernist literature and biblical allegory. These gorgeous, large-scale pastel drawings seduce with a seemingly endless supply of visual delight and symbolic intrigue."
