Shar Coulson: NIGHT SIGHT Gallery Opening
“NIGHT SIGHT: Illuminating the Mind’s Eye Through Darkness” presents 22 paintings by Chicago-based artist Shar Coulson, created in the aftermath of a life-threatening battle with endocarditis. Drawing upon extraordinary “closed-eye visualizations” experienced while heavily sedated in intensive care, Coulson translates pulsating forms and vivid colors onto paper and linen, revealing art’s profound capacity to heal. Merging her background in classical figurative realism with an abstract sensibility, these works stand as both a personal chronicle of recovery and a testament to creativity as medicine for body, mind, and spirit.
Celebrating Heart Month 2025: NIGHT SIGHT and “History of the Heart,” a display on the history of Cardiology and Heart Surgery from the IMSS collection. This exhibition is also supported by the Rush Heart Center for Women.
