Chris Stain: Out on the Roof Counting Pigeons
Posted in: Uncategorizedby Ariston Anderson
In Chris Stain‘s first solo show, he brings a gritty New York rooftop to L.A.’s Carmichael Gallery, complete with a live pigeon coop.
The Baltimore native builds his vision of inner city life through large-scale stencil installation as well as found objects. Stain comments, “my work explores the emotional and physical struggle of growing up in an urban environment. Through hand-cut stencils and installations made from found materials I hope to inspire compassion for the often overlooked individuals of society.” Chris’ characters reveal the struggle and compassion of the working class. They are wise images and especially pertinent for today’s society.
The opening is on 5 February 2009, 7-10 PM.
