About Gallery Provocateur:

Award Winning Gallery Provocateur exhibits a genre of work influenced by illustration, fantasy, subculture, comic books, pop culture imagery and the feminine mystique.. We represent a mix of emerging and career artists with an emphasis on cultivating new talent and creating an environment where artists can further develop their work.  We are a not for profit gallery due to our dissatisfaction with the conventional approach of galleries charging high percentages of their artists work while offering the same in an uninviting, stark environment.  Gallery works exhibited are primarily figurative with a strong composition.  The unconventional approach has helped shape our gallery's commitment to offering our space as one that encourages exploration and offering art forms which are massively underappreciated.  Gallery Provocateur remains focused on maintaining its mission of community, and commitment to providing our artists with a nurturing arena for experimentation and growth. The gallery has won the Best of Chicago Reader Award consistently from 2010-2012.

About Four Horsemen:

The End is Here-Welcome to the Apocalypse! Adam Cahill is a warrior bound by bloodline to guard the Seven Holy Seals that contain the End of Days. But sinister forces strike against him and send him into Hell itself. There, he must find three corrupt souls, chosen by Divinity, to join him in battle against the Four Horsemen to not only save their own souls, but to decide the very fate of Humanity. This title was created and co written by video game mastermind Michael Mendheim.  In addition to the works of Simon Bisley, the series will feature additional art by the late Stan Winston, Tim Bradstreet, Chad Fidler, and Dave DeVries, and script written by co-writers Mike Kennedy and Sean Jaffe
