In case you missed it...

Running until March 4, the Lois Lambert Gallery presents Gordon Chandler "Enigmatic & Earnest", Stephen Freedman "Mnemonics", and Dovrat Amsily-Barak "The Kingdom". Take a look at some photos from the opening reception.


Gordon Chandler's career spans more than 30 years, most notably for his reclaimed metal furniture and expressionistic animal sculptures. "Enigmatic & Earnest" focuses on the essence of Chandler's artistic principle, finding beauty in the overlooked and everyday objects that surround us.

Stephen Freedman's collection of ceramic sculptures in "Mnemonics" are a departure from the formalistic vessel-based sculpture he created during his time in Los Angeles. Models utilizing the elemental vessel in various forms from simple to complex evolved into his current sculptural incarnation in which multiple vessels are deconstructed and reassembled.

Israeli artist Dovrat Amsily-Barak makes her west coast debut with a collection of photographs entitled "The Kingdom". Fueled by a curiosity of sacred nun communities in Israel, the artist uncovers the mystery surrounding their lifestyle, resulting in an intimate collaboration between artist and subject.
