Abstract

The article focuses on Woody Gwyn’s exhibition at LewAllen Galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico, showcasing his detailed egg tempera paintings that explore natural light and form through close-up and wide-angle perspectives. Gwyn’s work emphasizes a hyperattentive observation of nature, capturing subtle patterns and cycles without human presence, often evoking comparisons to luminist and Japanese woodblock traditions. Key pieces like SOUTH COAST, TREE/POND, and LAST FALL illustrate his nuanced approach to natural scenes, inviting viewers to closely observe and “espy” the hidden intricacies of the natural world. The exhibition runs from May 29 to August 1, coinciding with another Gwyn show at the Art Museum of South Texas. [Extracted from the article]
