Karankawas Falls (2003) exemplifies the full maturity of Chamberlain’s artistic vision. The work’s gleaming, painted chromium-plated and stainless steel components twist and flow with a painterly energy, demonstrating his lifelong fascination with the relationship between color, texture, and volume. Like much of his late work, it reflects a refined command of industrial media—creating compositions that feel simultaneously spontaneous and meticulously orchestrated.

Through this balance, Chamberlain elevates raw material into a celebration of transformation, vitality, and the sublime potential of abstraction.
