Artist Spotlight: Marion Wood - Field Notes

Marion Wood, Tryptic, Acrylic, 60 x 60"

TAG Gallery is proud to present Field Notes, a series of paintings from Marion Wood focusing on the simplest elements of artistic expression. In order to capture and depict delicate terrains, Wood experiments with color fields and the use of gravity as a catalyst to portray the force of nature that pulls the rain to the roots within the earth.

Marion Wood, The Three, Acrylic

“I often find myself bombarded with technology. Cellphones, internet, social media, news media, and a president who tweets his every whim; It causes me to seek introspection, solitude and solace in nature, or a quiet space to ruminate. Personal reflection and self-assessment are the tools I use to keep my head amidst the constant bombardment. By looking within ourselves we intuitively know how to treat out fellow humans of any race, gender, or economic stature, and how to protect our environment.”

Marion Wood, A New Day, Acrylic, 48 x 60"

"There is an overwhelming sense of peace when I see and experience something raw and beautiful in the wilderness and I strive to wander through these canvases with that same connection, an excitement toward life and hope for the future."

Marion Wood, Winter Forest, Acrylic, 72 x 48"
