Chris

Chambers

the greeley square gallery is pleased to
announce an exhibition by new york born
artist christopher chambers. in recent
years his reputation for his writings on
art for several international publications
has come to equal, perhaps surpass his
renown as a painter. in this exhibition he
unites these two avenues of expression:
“jabberwocky” prose loosely scrawled
across the walls of the gallery underscores
the visual imagery of the canvases hung
sporadically about the gallery. the title of
the display, “metatext” refers to the internet
terminology for the verbal signposts that
drive search engines in much the same
way that chambers’ free-rambling verse
points to the psychologically charged
musings that lie behind his creative
process, both concrete in imagery yet
abstract in thought.

the exhibition will consist of canvases
ranging in scale from the size of a small
coffee table book to several larger pieces
that barely fit between the floor and ceiling
of the newly revamped exhibition space.
the greeley square gallery is located
in the “off chelsea” midtown area of
manhattan that borders on the Flatiron
district to the south and times square to
the north. the gallery’s program focuses
on new and emerging artists working in a
variety of media including but not limited
to: performance, photography, installations,
sculpture, painting and drawing.
