The City of Malibu Arts Commission invites the community to a free opening reception for “Sea and Stone,” a new art exhibition featuring original works by Nancy Wise, on Sunday, November 15, at 12:00 PM at the Malibu City Gallery.
“I commend the Malibu Arts Commission for consistently curating exhibitions that showcase an outstanding range of artistic mediums, styles and themes. These inspiring exhibitions bring fresh perspectives, celebrate creative expression and enrich the cultural life of our community. ‘Sea and Stone’ continues that tradition, and we invite everyone to experience Nancy Wise’s remarkable work,” said City Manager Joe Irvin.
Opening Reception: Sunday, November 15, 12:00 PM
Exhibition Dates: November 16 – December 23
Location: Malibu City Gallery at City Hall, 23825 Stuart Ranch Road
The exhibition celebrates Wise’s five-decade artistic journey across photography, ceramics, watercolor, drawing and oil painting. Her work explores a range of styles, including Impressionism, abstraction, impasto and Pointillism.
Wise’s artistic evolution has culminated in a distinctive Neo-Pointillist technique, creating images from thousands of tiny dots of oil paint applied to linen canvas and aluminum panels. The resulting works shift in appearance with changing light and viewing perspectives.
“As I stand at the crossroads of my half-century artistic journey, I find solace and fulfillment in the strokes of oil paint, a medium that allows me to encapsulate the essence of my artistic identity, reflecting the countless stories, emotions, and moments that have intricately woven the tapestry of my creative odyssey,” Wise said of her work.
Wise's work has been exhibited at major art fairs and exhibitions across the globe, including the prestigious Context Miami, Scope Miami, LA Art Show, Palm Springs Art Show and Affordable Art Fair in Hong Kong, London, and New York City. The work has also been exhibited in Salt Lake City, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, Sedona, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Nevada City, Scottsdale and Los Angeles.
Meet the artist at the opening reception and enjoy complimentary light refreshments. Admission is free, and no tickets or RSVPs are required.
The Malibu City Gallery is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Tickets or RSVPs are never required to visit an exhibition.
