Exhibitions

Discover a curated collection of new and vintage works celebrating the animal world by Winfield Gallery's talented artists. This contemporary art exhibition in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA, invites you to engage with the beauty and diversity of wildlife through diverse artistic expressions.

Holly Lane—Not Enough Time to Love the World, on view August 2 through January 12, showcases a range of Lane’s work garnered from the previous ten-plus years of a multi-decade career. As an art undergraduate, she began considering the relationship of frame to picture. She has since reimagined it into a new art form of her own invention, in which each component—painting and frame—is fundamental to the work as a whole. In a striking symbiosis, she unites each of her paintings with an intricately ornamented wood frame that she designs and carves for it. Her work expresses a profound amalgamation of heartfelt respect for the natural world, particularly the animal kingdom, and architectural and painterly expertise, plus musings on the autonomy of women, world mythology and philosophy.

Concurrently, Holly Lane—In the Artist’s Studio, on view August 23 through January 26, a part of NUMU’s innovative ongoing series, offers a rare opportunity for access into Lane’s meticulous step-by-step artistic process. Long a habitual hiker, she develops many of her subject ideas from time spent observing or immersed in the natural world. Hiking photographs, along with sketch books, design layouts, color trials, preparatory diagrams, drawings, and paintings, plus painting and woodworking tools, and works in process will provide invaluable insight into the studio of a contemporary artist whose methods are more closely aligned with a Medieval-era artisan’s workshop.

This exhibition can be found in the Mike & Alyce Parsons Reception.
