Jane Culp's muscular paintings and drawings vividly capture the surge of excitement she experiences when engaging with nature firsthand on location. Through her modernist lens, she conveys a profound sense of the present, employing surface tension and movement to convey this. I am deeply intrigued by the life and language of form, she explains. How form communicates as it enters space, how light and distance engulf and selectively magnify forms, how a rhythmic movement in space unleashes forms that shift direction, split, bulge, and fall back into space. Culp bravely tackles challenging weather conditions by strapping her easel to her knees, venturing into the rugged wilderness terrain along the spine of the Sierra Nevada. Through her artwork, she transports viewers from her home base north of the Anza-Borrego Desert, through the iconic Joshua Tree and Death Valley national parks, up to Tioga Pass, and into the breathtaking Yosemite Valley.
