Chaz Guest I The Sugars at the Bottom
RX&SLAG Paris is pleased to present The Sugars at the Bottom, a major solo exhibition by American artist Chaz Guest. The Sugars at the Bottom unfolds as a visual journal. Through this new body of paintings, Chaz Guest returns to the memories that shaped him, his childhood in Niagara Falls, New York, and his formative years in inner-city Philadelphia during the 1970s. Churches filled with gospel music, neighborhood streets, family gatherings, quiet moments of tenderness, and the rhythms of everyday life become the foundation of a deeply personal narrative that reaches far beyond autobiography.
