Carole Garland
City of Angels Hall

2018

About the Item

The artist Carole Garland, from Chicago, remembers her move to Los Angeles and her wonder at "Where are all the tall buildings? and Why so much blue sky?" She came to love the City of Angeles over time and devoted a series of paintings to the city to show it. This painting of the iconic Los Angeles City Hall and its surrounds was part of a Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) series exhibited at TAG Gallery, Los Angeles, in 2018. The architect John Parkinson was responsible for the concept and architectural design of City Hall, completed in 1928. The style was considered "Modern American" although the tower is very much Art Deco. Garland's interpretive urbanscape juxtaposes simplified geometric blocks of color with blocks of light and shadow. She chronicles the downtown area in this painting but shakes off realism and follows an instinctive desire to let the paint, the city and the atmosphere coalesce into a work of unusual strength.

  • The Orange Wall of San Miguel #2
    By Carole Garland
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    A quiet street of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico is the subject of this painting by Carole Garland. An elderly woman cautiously makes her way along a narrow path using a tree to lend support. The orange wall provides much needed shade in the afternoon heat. Light seeps through the branches of a colorful bougainvillea patterning the orange bulwark. Artist Carole Garland who studied art in both San Miguel de Allende and Mexico City shares her appreciation of the simplicity of this quiet backstreet in a Mexican town. A special moment in time is brought to life. Garland uses the scumbling technique and a paint laden palette knife to achieve texture and depth in the leaves, the branches and the rough pavement of the street. This oil on wood panel is 16"x20" and its natural wood sides serve as a frame. The painting is wired for easy hanging. This is a stand-alone artwork but was conceived as a companion piece to Orange Wall of San Miguel #1. Together they are 16"x 40". Artist Carole Garland has appeared in numerous venues throughout Southern California, including several juried California Art Club exhibits and individual shows at TAG Gallery in Los Angeles. Her work has recently appeared at the West Los Angeles College Art Gallery; the Rose Cafe, Venice; Topanga Canyon Art...
