Carole Garland
The Jump from Moon Lake Pier

2024

About the Item

Happy times -- nothing more joyful, adventurous or as freeing as jumping into cold lake water on a hot summer's day. Everyone is drenched, shivering, but going back in- one more time. Plugged ears, runny noses, goosebumps and soaked bathing suits - what could be more fun? Hamburgers, hotdogs, potato salad and ice cream await the survivors. Another July day at Moon Lake. Artist Carole Garland captures figures in motion, enjoying the movement of arms and legs thrusting forward. The leap into the air of the three figures gives momentum to the work, while the lower standing figures give pause. Garland keeps the background woodland abstracted so as not to distract from the figures. This 40"x30" Oil on Wood Panel has wood sides which can serve as a frame. The back is wired for easy hanging. Carole Garland studied figure drawing at the Art Institute of Chicago and has taken workshops with Fine Art Oil painters Frank Serrano, Jeff Horn, Calvin Liang and others. She is grounded in classical painting traditions while David Gallup, her latest "influencer", has encouraged experimentation. Garland has shown in many Southern California venues and is in numerous art collections in Los Angeles and throughout the country.

  • Nude Ascending
    By Nansi Bielanski Gallup and David C. Gallup
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    On a recent trip to the Caribbean, Nansi and David were frequently surrounded by large shoals of Palometa fish, a privilege which inspired this painting, “Nude Ascending”. The motif, a nude swimmer interacting peacefully-almost spiritually-with ocean life, has become one of the trademarks of the husband and wife collaborative duo. Nansi Bielanski Gallup & David C. Gallup are fine artists living in Southern California and in the small island...

  • THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
    By Carole Garland
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    A friend of Carole Garland’s suggested she might be so enthusiastic about painting figures and groups of people because of her previous isolation during Covid. In fact, her one wish when it was over was to sit at a sidewalk café anywhere and people watch. But in this work, there is something more. “Thoughts and Prayers” is a reaction to attending a Bingo fundraiser for a Recovery House. Everyone was enjoying themselves at various tables. It was a benign event, except for the specter of mass shootings in innocent, unsuspecting gatherings like this. In the painting, Garland attempts to convey her feelings of dread at an otherwise boisterous occasion. It was happening everywhere, anywhere, all the time. Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill., studied art at the Chicago Art Institute and the University of the Americas in Mexico City. She has worked privately with artists Keith Finch and Ron Pekar, taken numerous workshops and was mentored by David Gallup...

    Urbex is the English acronym for urban exploration and is an activity that consists of searching for and locating abandoned infrastructure with the goal of visiting, photographing and conveying its contents, with particular involvement of methodologies from geography, anthropology, sociology to cultural studies. Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life. An artist of international caliber who has decided to entrust her return to her homeland to Almach Art Gallery in Milan, while maintaining connections with important galleries, such as Marlborough Fine Art in London and Galerie Koch in Hanover. The artwork represents the famous Velasca Tower in Milan. This artwork was exhibited during the Daniela Gullotta...
