Chris Wolston carefully handcrafted furniture pieces with originality

Wolston’s carefully handcrafted furniture pieces blur the lines between furniture, installation, and sculpture to hybridize tradition with contemporary surrealism.

Chris Wolston, born in the US but now based in Medellín, celebrates this exhibition as his fifth solo show at Hotel Bel-Air. The event shows his dedication to cultural exploration. Drawing inspiration from the city of Medellín, his new series of terracotta planter chairs, previously unseen in Los Angeles, is a celebration of Colombian craftsmanship and the significance of flowers in global culture. Wolston’s work results from a deep exploration of techniques rooted in Colombian culture. In this show, the artist nods to the practice of planting and cutting flowers as expressions of joy, remembrance, and romance, together with gestural masonry techniques employed by Colombian bricklayers.
