Chiaroscuro is pleased to debut a new artist to the gallery for our 2024 season opener. Yarrott Benz, "Recent Work," opening reception, Friday, May 31, with the show continuing through June 29, 2024. "Recent Work" is a collection of abstract sculptural pieces made from found wood, painted with vivid saturated color. Benz explains, “In this new work I make something physical from almost nothing, using scraps and pieces of discarded, milled wood as I find it, juxtaposing the parts to fashion whole new entities and meanings, and allowing unknown histories to quietly speak for themselves.” Recent Work is a cohesive collection of pieces exploring abstract compositional possibilities from found wood. The artist doesn’t alter the shape and form of the wood, yet through assemblage of many pieces, dynamic relationships and compositions are formed. Images of artwork included in the exhibition are serving below, please contact gallery for installation views of specific pieces.
