Save the date for the exclusive private opening reception on May 18th, where Chris Wolston himself, alongside gallery founder David Alhadeff, will grace the event, igniting sparks of inspiration and enchantment.

As the artist reflects, “The ‘flower power’ movement and its ideals—universal belonging, peace, love, unity, respect—are sentiments that I hope resonate throughout my work. Flowers are more than an olive branch—they stop you dead in your tracks, and force you to reconsider your relationship to the world around you.”

Delving into the intricate relationship between humans and nature, Wolston juxtaposes elaborate floral formations with surreal abstract forms, celebrating the power of imagination. With locally sourced clay from a Bogotá mine, foraged fallen plants, and flowers from the vibrant La Placita de Flórez market, his dedication to craft and reverence for natural resources shine through.

In his pursuit of novel forms of expression, Wolston employs furniture as a means of communication, embracing radical design traditions while showcasing his love for rich craft. Regardless of the topic or approach, the artist revels in the sheer joy of creation, losing himself in the art of shaping imagination.
