In what may very well be his exhibition with Core New Art Space at it’s current location Earl Chuvarsky presents his ongoing series “Made in America.”
Born from the political maelstrom that has defined the last several years, Chuvarsky’s paintings seek to critique the continued divisiveness and disinformation of modern politics while examining the issues that define American culture, whether it be our insatiable appetite for consumerism or pop-culture rhetoric. By acknowledging and documenting the flaws, Chuvarsky hopes to shift focus to something uniquely American: optimism.
Chuvarsky quips: “I’m inviting everyone to take a moment, to pause Cardi B and stop taking selfies. Take the time and reflect on what you really want for the future- then go out there and actually do it.”
On exhibition August 2nd through August 19th 2018 at Core New Art Space 900 Santa Fe Dr. with a special first Friday event on August 3rd. Santa Fe Dr will be closed to traffic with food trucks and events throughout the art district.

2016 was surreal. I spent the latter half of the year watching a growing divide within the country as fringe elements from both sides rose to the spotlight. As the New Year rolled around, exhausted from perpetual chaos, the lack of civility shaped by reality television and the instant emotional kick of social media, I found my only solace: painting. The work took on a life of it's own as I branched out from portraiture into new figuration. Exploring more traditional working methods while focusing on contemporary subjects. These paintings sought to document current events, my daily life, the absurdity of modern politics, and childhood nostalgia. All while examining the placement of my subject on the picture plane and the feeling it invokes.
On exhibit August 3rd through August 20th 2017, Core New Art Space 900 Santa Fe Dr, Denver CO 80204 with an artist reception on August 11th from 6 - 9p.

A series focusing on contemporary portraiture and painting from memory. In an age filled with tailored pop-up adverts, Twitter trends, Snap Chat, and hashtags people entrust their memories to external devices because they want to set down solid physical proof that can distinguish them as unique individuals. Following social constructs this idea is often lost in the midst of life's fleeting moments. Following this concept Chuvarsky used found images to create rough outlines filling in the details and final touches from memory.

Fun fact: The city council of Denver purchased the lot where the shuttered Saturday's sat for 1.3 million in an attempt to change the perception of east Colfax and stop open air drug deals and prostitution. Because apparently they prefer those things happen in Civic Center park directly across from the State Capitol and Courthouse.

Griff's Hamburgers was a a haunt of mine since childhood, an old school burger chain throw back. while paintings this I was overcome with an extreme sadness thinking about the old guy that use to bus tables at the South Broadway Location. He was there when grabbed lunch in high school, when I would light rail down between college classes, or when I would stop and grab a giant double cheeseburger combo back when I worked on Broadway and Dakota. I truly hope he's doing well, and there's not a day that goes by that I don't miss being able to stop by for a no-nonsense cheeseburger.

Cinderella Twin was the last Drive-In theater in the Denver Metro area. I spent many a weekend night packed into the back of my grandmas 1970s mercury Cougar watching movies with a bucket of popcorn and red vines. Drive-ins were the last bastion of car culture Americana that in today's age of on-demand everything has very little presence. Cinderella Twin takes it's name from Cinderella City Mall directly across Santa Fe Dr on 285 which was crowning jewel of consumerism until its decline and demolition in the late 90s.

Before Lakeside was Lakeside it was known as White City with its gleaming "Tower of Jewels" featuring over 5,000 lights and was one of the tallest buildings in Colorado when it was built in 1907 standing at 150 feet. Today Lakeside is one of the oldest amusement parks in the United States.
