Cammie Staros | Pompeii

Step into a space where the ancient world meets modern ingenuity in Pompeii, an evocative solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Cammie Staros. Drawing inspiration from classical antiquity, Staros crafts a dialogue between history and the present, inviting viewers to explore the enduring power of form and relic.

The vibe of the exhibition is one of quiet, sculptural elegance and intellectual curiosity. Her work reimagines traditional Greco-Roman motifs—such as the iconic amphora—through a contemporary lens, often incorporating unexpected materials like neon, metal, and acrylic. The result is an atmosphere that feels both timeless and experimental, where the weight of history is balanced by a sleek, modern aesthetic.

Staros is widely celebrated for her ability to transform rigid, classical structures into fluid, narrative objects that challenge our perceptions of the past. Her meticulous craftsmanship and visionary approach have earned her a prominent place in the contemporary art scene, with works that bridge the gap between archaeology and high design.
