TriDisciplinary Artist

Solomon graduated in 2003 with a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He has studied writing at the University of Iowa and was very active in the Intermedia Department there in the late nineties. The Cedar Valley Spirits Gallery in Austin, TX was his brainchild and through it’s founding he jumpstarted a vibrant, new arts community. His mother and grandfather, both career artists and he, had a successful group show there in 2012 called ‘Three Generations’. Upon returning to Chicago he worked for the Windy City Winery doing label design and wine work from 2013-2016. He was picked up by the Rogers Park Art Gallery in 2018 and was promoted gallery co-manager in 2019. He staged a solo show there in 2019.
