Rising Water
Acrylic and epoxy on wood, 12" x 15", 2020
Artist: Ross Chambers
For this artist, found wood has a unique living history, and working those old wooden bones starts a visual dialogue between light, line, layers, and dreams. You might find Ross Chambers ambling around a 5th Avenue penthouse or moving through a Madison Avenue corporate suite hanging artwork and curating the physical and diverse spaces of New York. He is an installation expert and a contractor, but always makes time for his own muse. His figurative archaic fools are carved angular expressionistic throwbacks, gouged, worn, transformative, and created with cast-off wood.
Ross' own found psychological spaces are woven from hammer stuck carpentry in western deserts, careful study in urban art studios, and lifelong wandering in museums, worksites, and bars. "I see the many trapped in corroded archetypes; strained ideologies and relentless avarice," says Chambers, "I am grateful for the few pragmatic individuals and groups working to protect our world." His work imagines psychological landscapes inhabited by derelicts, ghosts, and drinkers seeking their dreams or nursing lost chances.
