Current Exhibition

Lori Field: Saints, Tigers, Warriors, Lovers, Flowers

May 23 – July 19, 2024

Lori Field: Saints, Tigers, Warriors, Lovers, Flowers, a solo exhibit for the internationally acclaimed artist Lori Field, opens Thursday, May 23, at Haley Gallery.

Field worked as an illustrator and textile designer before returning to her fine art practice in 1996. Since that time, she’s had numerous solo exhibitions around the globe, including New York City, Berlin, Toronto, Chicago, and Noyers-sur-Serein.

Field’s mixed media drawings, paintings, moving images and sculptures straddle a border between reality and dream, past life and present. By playing with her own fairy tales and mythology, Field inserts a reoccurring cast of characters into post-apocalyptic romantic landscapes, imagining an altered future that might be tolerable after all.
