Arlo’s Living Room Gallery: “Cosmos” by Chris Rivers

From December 4 to February 28, Arlo Wynwood, known for having immersive art experiences within its public spaces, will present a special exhibition at its third-floor gallery in partnership with British artist Chris Rivers. Serving as a 24/7 public art gallery, the exhibition, entitled Cosmos, will showcase the artist’s dedication to exploring the beauty and vastness of the cosmic system, the complexities and contradictions of the human condition, and the infinite possibilities of the universe. Curated by Jasmine Arakel, the exhibition features exuberant works in which the artist utilizes the materiality of paint to create images of otherworldly expanses and environments. Rivers often introduces soft light filters through layers of complementary tones, swelling with dramatic, saturated color before receding into the image. Upon closer inspection, these clouds are populated by minute details – flowers, insects, figures and other characters – scattered across the painted surface, offering a sense of scale to the abstract haze. Distinct rococo elements are also detectable, as curvilinear motifs fade in and out of the vibrant, bustling compositions. These works were previously on display at Pontone Gallery in New York City. On Wednesday, December 4, Arlo Wynwood will celebrate Rivers and his exhibit during an opening reception open to the public. Stay tuned for more details about the event.
