Roberts Projects presents 'Finding Figures,' Daniel Crews-Chubb's fourth solo exhibition, featuring his latest works on paper. This exhibit marks a shift towards abstraction, aiming to reveal universal concepts rather than contemporary specifics. Crews-Chubb has spent nearly a decade centering the figure as a dynamic motif, integrating influences from various art movements and ancient deities while avoiding definitive cultural markers. His unique painting process, akin to sculpture, combines diverse materials and seeks balance between form and atmosphere, maintaining the rich complexity seen in his previous canvas works.
Crews-Chubb's new works take an increasingly abstract direction, uncovering the timeless and universal rather than the contemporary and specific.
By allowing figures to be read as archetypes, he invites viewers to see the body as a vessel of energy rather than a container for subjectivity.
Finding Figures marks Crews-Chubb's first solo exhibition solely of works on paper, yet retains the complexity typical of his canvas works.
His painting process resembles sculpture, using varied materials to create balanced compositions through exploration of figure and ground.
