Chuck Stolarek
06th of October- 05th of November 2020
textile artist
Chuck Stolarek is California based textile artist, working primarily in print, clothing, and embroidery. His work explores the overlapping of humor, confusion, belonging, and context - part collage, part reverse mad lib, part absurdism. When not dreaming up wild stories, he's probably mowing the lawn or chasing after his two kids.
