Escat Gallery is thrilled to announce the upcoming solo exhibition of Carsten Beck in Barcelona, opening on January 22, 2025.
“Chaos is not something to fear, but something to embrace. It’s the raw, disordered energy that surrounds us, and from that mess, something beautiful can emerge. As an artist, I’ve always been fascinated by how geometry and photography can help us make sense of this chaos—transforming the unpredictable and the random into something structured, meaningful, and visually compelling.
Geometry, with its perfect lines and shapes, offers a kind of anchor. It brings order to the disorder, creating a framework within which the world’s chaos can be understood. Whether I’m using sharp angles, curves, or patterns, geometry gives me a way to organize space, to navigate through the confusion and find clarity. It’s almost like finding a map to guide me through an otherwise chaotic landscape.

In my work, I often try to capture that feeling of chaos just before it finds its shape, its order. There’s beauty in the transition from one to the other, and it’s this tension I’m drawn to—how something seemingly chaotic can be seen through a different lens, through the perspective of geometry, and transformed into something that feels more structured, more intentional.
“Perspective from Chaos” is my way of showing how we can find order in the mess of life. It’s a reminder that chaos isn’t just disorder—it’s a dynamic, living thing that, when viewed through the lens of geometry and photography, can reveal hidden structures, underlying patterns, and deeper truths. It’s a chance to step back and see things from a new perspective—one where chaos doesn’t have to be overwhelming, but can instead be a source of inspiration.”
