CHRIS HAAS

HAASTYLIZATION

feature exhibition

Opening on October 21st, 2022

​

Arch Enemy Arts is pleased to present HAASTYLIZATION, a new solo feature of legendary mixed media sculptor Chris Haas. A series of 14 original works, each housed in unique vintage frames, Chris bestows a range of color, shape, and character in his own distinctive and purely enchanting style.

 

Utilizing assemblage with effective modeling to complete his visions, the Colorado artist finds his creative drive in cleverly repurposing found objects. With animal skulls, recycled leather, and color palettes inspired by memories from his childhood, Chris continues to experiment and learn with each piece, crafting voiceless denizens of a waking dream. Glass eyes gaze stoically from soft and subtle form, clad in baroque-styled furnishings, reading as protective shells to their inhabitants. Playful as they are majestic, moody as they are delightful, his aptly named Geist along with his assorted Peepers convey an anthropomorphic grandiosity, like living trophies plucked from a haunted Victorian house.

 

HAASTYLIZATION is Chris Haas’ first solo feature with Arch Enemy Arts following his inclusion in numerous group shows since 2014’s The Fourth World.
