"The paintings and prints created by Evanston artist Diane Thodos over the past four years embody an intensity that summarizes her development as an artist. At the same time, these pieces represent the artist’s indirect and abstract response to complex emotions generated by the tragedy of September 11, 2001, and its aftermath, including the conceptual war on terrorism and ongoing ground battle in Iraq. Thodos’ works reflect on human and emotional states that are timeless in their troubling expressionism."
