Deborah Colton Gallery presents "IN VIA," an exhibition featuring works on paper by Grayson Chandler.
Via, borrowing from the Latin ablative for road, is an English preposition meaning “by way of; through.” The guiding ethos of "IN VIA" is one which echoes a compulsion for motion. Complimented by its phonetic proximity to words such as viva, vida, and vive, "IN VIA" encourages connotations of living, passing, and connecting. Within this vein, Chandler’s latest exhibit serves to circumscribe the ways through which he channels his creative spirit into otherworldly artworks. As a special feature, Chandler invites viewers to get a closer glimpse into his artistic practice. By assembling his studio as a fixture of the exhibit, "IN VIA" aims to reproduce a more comprehensive showcase for the manifold of means, methods, and measurements by which Chandler finds vitality in his vision. Running in conjunction with Deborah Colton Gallery’s 2022 “Artist Solo & Studio Project,” "IN VIA" is an opportunity for both the artist and audience to glean and visualize what occurs between studio and gallery.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until September 3.
