🎨 On through February 12th, 'Sentrock: The Boy Who Wanted to Fly,' takes off, after initially being canceled due to censorship. | ✍️ Cristobal Alday
"Sentrock: The Boy Who Wanted to Fly" is on view at the Elmhurst Art Museum through February 12.Before you even step inside the museum, you are greeted outside by a Bird City Saint vinyl—the artist’s signature character. Walking into the first gallery, I see a giant wooden sculpture filled with congratulations written in red and black ink from various folks from the opening. Although signing the wall or pieces during an opening is not unheard of, this feels different.
In the next gallery, I come across a child pressing a button, making the room light up all the objects inside. Going forward, I come to the biggest part of the exhibition. A giant Bird City Saint statue lays in a pile of grass, with a low-rider bike on the left side and a paletero cart adorned in his style and flowers on the right. As I go around, I can’t help but remember all the summers I had growing up in Pilsen and Chicago’s south side in general.
