Desert Palm

The Marcus Ashley Gallery has cultivated a reputation for being a one-stop destination for contemporary and fine art. Along its venerable walkways, you’ll find a treasure trove of original art, memorabilia, and books. From Michelangelo to Dr. Seuss to Michael Parkes to Steve Barton, the gallery displays works by both emerging and established artists. Clients and customers prefer to visit the gallery because it passionately supports the work of local, national, and international talent.

Lyman Whitaker art — a collection of world-renowned wind sculptures, is part of the gallery’s growing repertoire of modern art. Explore the sculptor’s majestic works on display in the gallery’s garden, where nature and man-made grandeur coexist beautifully. In this release titled Desert Palm, a cluster of small and large leaves bend and curl to mimic the tree’s form. Viewers will be drawn to the sculpture’s careful arrangement of copper-hued and blue elements. As Desert Palm spins, the tones of the distressed leaves appear static on either side despite the sculpture’s movement.

Whitaker’s complex sculptures are based on kinetic energy, mechanical accuracy, and quality craftsmanship. Place Desert Palm in an open space with plenty of room for uninterrupted wind flow.
