“Chris Natrop is an installation artist by nature, known for his labor-intensive, room-engulfing sculptural environments constructed of cut and painted elements. Using a meticulous and advanced version of a scissors-and-paper cut-out technique, plus atmospheric engineering using reflective pigment, ambient and staged lighting, and immersive scale, Natrop's work itself evokes the bog-lands and reedy gardens it portrays. For his new show at Taylor de Cordoba, Natrop offers more singular individual pieces, but still could not resist nestling them in a more complex ecosystem of tendrils and mirrors that transforms the gallery into one of his magical secret gardens.”

Taylor De Cordoba is pleased to present myopic spring tangle, a multi-media installation by Los Angeles-based artist Chris Natrop. As opposed to Natrop's previous and more immersive installations, myopic spring tangle is comprised of discrete works of art interrelating as a whole. While utilizing the existing gallery architecture, the artist employs myriad techniques and uses varied materials to transform the space into a unique environment. In one area, hand-cut pieces of paper painted with watercolor hang from the ceiling in a cluster. Illuminated by small fluorescent tube fixtures with colored gel overlays. This work is "tangled" with colored thread, which travels through the gallery rafters.
