Our Mission
Our mission is to showcase and elevate emerging and mid-career artists in and around Portage Park, Chicago, and its surrounding areas with an emphasis on the low brow / illustrative / street art aesthetic.
Being one of many like minded galleries in Chicago we hope to differentiate ourselves by educating a neighborhood (not used to an established gallery scene) about collecting art as well as bringing together local businesses through a localized and diverse creative community.
After a few years of doing pop up art shows around the Northwest side of Chicago, The Seventh Corner Gallery now has a dedicated gallery space within Chicago’s premier graphic novel shop Howling Pages.

Shawn Smith (he/him/his)
Chicago-based Shawn Smith is best known as the artist and designer behind Shawnimals and Ninjatown. While often known for his work in designer toys – particularly plush – he is primarily focused on fine art, and creates a wide variety of colorful, playful, and symbolic illustrative works in the form of drawings, paintings, and murals. Simply put, he wants to delight and inspire people everywhere with his character-based creative work.
His "All Shapes" body of work explores ideas of friendship, community, diversity, inclusivity, and celebration. While squarely rooted in the world of art with color, shape, and composition, there's also the implication of a wide range of not only shapes and colors, but also emotions. We are all of these things and many more, and these differences should be celebrated and supported to build a true sense of community.
