“By Chance refers to the act of choosing, how does one make a choice…. In the end it all goes according to circumstance. Choice is regulated many times by taste, and taste is regulated by learned behavior among other things.” -Carla Arocha
This exhibition of new work by Venezuelan-born Carla Arocha will feature new paintings (including a super-charged piece based on the image above titled “Vanessa”), a wall of abstract drawings, and site-specific installation. Her meticulously-crafted and optically-challenging work exudes an air of obsession while revealing subtle acts of random disarray. Arocha’s investigation of the intersection of style, substance, and the human condition continues to be seen through a veil of pattern-based work all the while challenging the notion of “painting” itself.
