Chelsea Bighorn
A Bead at a Time
April 18 – May 30, 2026
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 18 (6-9PM)
de boer | Los Angeles
de boer (Los Angeles) is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Chelsea Bighorn, marking the artist’s debut with the gallery in Los Angeles. Bringing together a new body of large-scale textile works, the exhibition foregrounds Bighorn’s distinctive synthesis of material, memory, and cultural inheritance. While rooted in specific cultural references, Bighorn’s work also engages broader questions of abstraction, perception, and materiality.
