San Francisco-based artist Chris Corales has been exhibiting his found material collages locally and internationally for nearly a decade, and his latest exhibition “one bright day in the middle of the night” continues in the same tradition of brash, vibrant assemblages from materials such as cardboard boxes, packing tape, clothing fabric, and the like. In this recent body of work, Corales takes remnants of printed industrial shipping boxes and reconfigures them, sometimes in three-dimensional form. The exhibition also includes installation work—combinations of box shapes that occasionally flirt with the figurative.
Chris Corales is a self-taught artist who has been active in the Bay Area for the last decade. His work has been featured in local galleries that include the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, Four Walls, Gregory Lind Gallery, New Langton Arts, and Paulson Press. His recent solo exhibitions have included The Gallery of Urban Art, Emeryville. Corales has also shown in Los Angeles, Chicago, Vancouver, and Lisbon. He lives and works in San Francisco.
