Chris Sharp

Chris Sharp Gallery opened in Los Angeles in January, 2021. Founded by writer, curator and co-founder of Lulu, Mexico City, Chris Sharp, the gallery is focused on a mixture of emerging, mid-career and overlooked or historically neglected artists. With a strong core of artists based in LA, the gallery also represents a number of positions on the East Coast, the UK, and Europe. The intention of the program is to present fully-integrated practices which think plastically— practices in which politics and ideas are indivisible from materials and form. The personal and the idiosyncratic hold a privileged place in the gallery’s aesthetics, while humor (the weirder, the better) and craft are crucial to its quiddity, all of which tends to be conveyed with a certain spatial elegance which seeks to foreground every work of art as the humble miracle that it is.
