PUBLISHER’S EYE: Chyrum Lambert
la BEAST Gallery

by | May 16, 2024

With rich, saturated hues on both black and cream backgrounds, Chyrum Lambert’s collages on wooden panels are mysterious yet familiar, reminiscent of botanical illustrations or a rock collection display. Titled “An Alphabet of Looking,” the show provides a chance to parse the artist’s visual language—cutting from his large assortment of painted paper, Lambert adheres various shapes to their own smaller, wooden rectangle, which creates a three-dimensional grid on each piece. The isolated parts making the whole, his organic shapes are compositionally categorized by the artist’s system, the gestural brushstrokes contrasting with the precision of his scissors.
