In April of 2025, 20 North Gallery will open an exhibition of atmospheric landscape paintings by Chesterton, Indiana artist Tony Bianco and construction site photography by Columbus, Ohio artist Sebastien Schohn. Each inspired by their individual experiences working in factories and construction in the Midwestern United States, the exhibiting artists of Exploring the Industrial Landscape look for beauty in the familiar industrial and construction scenes of the region known as the Rust Belt.
Bianco’s paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolor capture scenes across Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, with multiple new-for-2025 depictions of Toledo, Ohio being unveiled in Exploring the Industrial Landscape. Schohn, originally from Toledo, makes his commercial gallery debut with photography created while working in construction across West and Northwest Ohio.
This exhibit will continue through June 21, 2025
Tony Bianco (Chesterton, Indiana)
Born and raised in Northwestern Indiana, Bianco is a primarily self-taught painter. Bianco has received numerous Purchase Awards through the annual Elkhart Juried Regional Exhibition, entering his work into corporate collections in the region. Additionally, his murals form part of the public collection of the historic Washington Park Zoo (Michigan City, Indiana). His paintings reflect his unique viewpoint as a former factory worker in the steel mills of Indiana. Recently, in 2024, Bianco enjoyed a solo exhibition, The Industrial Landscape: Paintings by Tony Bianco at the Midwest Museum of American Art.
Sebastien Schohn (Columbus, Ohio)
Sebastien Schohn’s photography is based around the American working class, nature, distorted reality and dwellings. He received a BFA in Photography from The University of Toledo in 2018. During his studies, Schohn was awarded a Wilmore Scholarship for his portfolio work. In 2018, he received a grant from The Arts Commission of Toledo, Ohio, to create and present an interactive artwork at Imagination Station in Toledo, as part of the Momentum arts festival. Schohn is currently compiling an artwork photography book for his Pool series, while employed for Trimedx, a biotechnology company based out of Indiana.
