The woodland subjects and the compositions in Lucy Kalian’s “Witnesses” are noticeably bare—the trees hold no leaves, and every figure is surrounded by a vast stretch of white, negative space. While the pieces seem otherworldly with their remarkable beauty and ethereal qualities, Kalian’s works are inspired by real-life woodland figures.
In every new small works exhibition, ten pieces are chosen to receive an award of merit. From still lifes to marine scenes, abstract to realist pieces, the awarded works represent our diverse range of artist members.

Lucy Kalian’s solo show Witnesses opens today! Kalian’s graphite drawings of large and small woodland objects are now on view in the Upper Gallery and the Back Bay Room. The show’s title refers to majestic forms that act as ‘witnesses’ to the ever-changing ecosystem, as well as those who wander the woods to observe its beauty.
