Chefas Projects

'Iridescent #14' by Bobby Adams () for that's currently on view through October 17th at Chefas Projects. Acrylic on canvas, 30 × 40 inches.

Working with hard edges and meticulously calibrated color transitions, Adams constructs paintings that appear at once exacting and elusive. Color becomes both subject and structure: gradients shift across the surface with a measured sense of movement, while simplified compositions heighten the perceptual effects of scale, saturation, and transition. The paintings inhabit a productive space between the mechanical and the handmade, where precision does not eliminate the presence of the artist but makes it more apparent.

'Double Take' by Dan Lam () for that's currently on view through October 17th at Chefas Projects. Foam, acrylic, resin, polymer, 14.75 × 10.5 × 11 inches.

Bringing together more than twenty new works, the exhibition introduces a heightened metallic sensibility to Lam’s singular sculptural language, with surfaces that suggest chrome, liquid metal, and something less readily identifiable-objects caught somewhere between matter and mutation.

FRIDAY! We're excited to welcome back Dan Lam | for her fifth exhibition at the gallery with ✨
⁠
Known for sculptures that occupy an uncanny space between the organic and the artificial, Lam approaches form as something fluid, seductive, and alive. In Mercurial, this sensibility takes on a distinctly reflective character. Metallic hues course across the surfaces of the works, emphasizing their bulbous contours, dripping edges, and seemingly unstable forms. Chrome-like finishes catch and distort their surroundings, allowing the sculptures to shift with changes in light, perspective, and proximity.
