Lamp 700 (Big Rainbow)

Lamp 700 (Big Rainbow), 2022 by Chris Beeston

Chris Beeston’s work is an extension of his hobbies and life experiences: repairing broken electronics, collecting street metal, reading science fiction, and digesting as much scientific and technical knowledge as possible. Beeston’s meticulous works elevate everyday, mass-produced objects—like 99-cent-store Tupperware—into objects of greater intention and extended functionality without concealing their origins. His curiosity about the world is on full display, focused on the geometric, structural, and technological underpinnings of our culture. His fascination with homegoods highlights a belief that people desire deeper, more emotional connections with their surroundings.
