Alex Chitty’s exhibition brings together sculptural and photographic work spanning a decade of the artist’s practice, including a series of small tabletop sculptures referred to as “character studies” that echo the themes and motifs in a central triptych sculpture. Steeped in the histories and conventions of both art and design, Chitty’s work is fundamentally an inquiry into the formal and material bases of thought and experience.

Born in Miami, Chitty currently lives in Chicago and teaches at the Art Institute, where she received her MFA in 2008. Chitty’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Virginia Commonwealth University, the Elmhurst Art Museum, EXPO, Chicago, GAVLAK Gallery, and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, among other venues. She is represented by Patron Gallery, Chicago.
