CHAOS | curated by Alexander Ma

Carpenters Workshop Gallery Los Angeles presents CHAOS, a group show curated by Alexander May of SIZED Studio. Marking one year since the launch of the physical gallery space in Los Angeles, this exhibition is curated to illustrate the breath of the gallery’s creative collaborative approach in bringing to the fore all forms of artistic expression using form and function as a guiding principle. The show encompasses the work of over 20 renown artists, including Ingrid Donat, Sterling Ruby, Vincenzo De Cotiis, Thomas Houseago, Victor Barragan, Suda Kokuta and Rick Owens.

The title CHAOS refers to the investigation of contrasting textures and forms, showcasing a balance of opposing creative perspectives and the inherent beauty that can emerge from disorder. CHAOS seeks to present a cultural dialogue, providing snapshots of the world through the purposeful placement of revered artistic voices and Alexander May’s discerning lens. The exhibition boasts an expansive display of works, with elements of naturalism balanced against stark industrial pieces. Moose antler, ceramics, and varieties of wood react to aluminum, bronze, and steel, generating unique dialogues with each permutation.
