“It’s all in the fit”
tongues wag as
an anchor cast candy wrapper green
tees up to paddle
revolving oars through a day
in the life of John Chamberlain’s Paris.
Happenstance synergy
a surprise body of work
twisting up across steely shoulders
an arched provocation
to further perception
of the voluminous crunched metal
iconic pals intuitively revealing
themselves along the ride
at Dia, in Marfa,
the Grand Palais of art discovery.
As fresh and hallucinatory
as a seedling, shot from the hip
Widelux panoramic
portraits of the nervous system
a visual play of flow state contortions
metal rustles enigmatically
candescent pearls toasted ice
ginger draped over sesame
materials seem to defy gravity
open to passion-filled fits.
A leap into John Chamberlain’s experiential way of knowing the world, in collaboration with the John Chamberlain Estate illuminating the release of a rare selection of photographs made during his sojourns in Paris. Now presented on 1stDibs.
