Lara Chamas & Carmen Reid, Lara Chamas, Carmen Reid

LON Gallery is thrilled to present a two person exhibition of sculptures by Lara Chamas and Carmen Reid, current between 18 October and 11 November.

Encompassing vastly different conceptual territory, Reid and Chamas’ practices are united by an acute understanding of material sensitivity and a poetic approach to object making.
