la BEAST gallery is pleased to present Chyrum Lambert’s solo exhibition: My Idea Is This—That The Flame, Pretending To Be A Snake— Is An Interesting Idea. Oozing with an atmosphere of high drama, the presentation will include works created within a two-year span that explore themes of growth, decay, the ambiguity of form, and the resilient joy of discovery. The artist’s unique practice fuses elements of abstract mark-making and collage, creating spontaneous, playful paintings that resonate on both a formal and conceptual level. Informed by self-discovered systems, his own poetry, and the inexplicable laws of nature, the beating heart of Lambert’s work is impossible to miss. Unsuspecting spectators are confronted with an array of unreal worlds that beckon exploration.
The opening reception of My Idea Is This—That The Flame, Pretending To Be A Snake— Is An Interesting Idea, will be held at la BEAST gallery’s exhibition space in Cypress Park, Los Angeles on Saturday, September 17th from 7-10p. The solo exhibition will be on view through October 29th, 2022.
