Elements – Air

The Marcus Ashley Gallery is the preferred location for artists, collectors, elite figures, and the community to explore contemporary and fine art. Tucked away in the heart of Lake Tahoe, the gallery is situated in a breathtaking location away from the hustle-bustle of the city.

Lyman Whitaker art, a grand collection of handmade wind sculptures, is part of the gallery’s ever-expanding oeuvre of modern exhibits. The sculptor found his true calling in the early 80s when he discovered how to combine physics, metalwork, and his passion for the environment. No two sculptures ever appear similar, and his work is such a joy to collect by avid and professional collectors.

In Elements – Air, Whitaker creates a whimsical representation of a basic yet essential natural element. The element air is associated with the mind and represents communication, intellect, strategy, mental intention, and perception. Those who are governed by their minds will find solace, inspiration, and clarity of thought through Whitaker’s Elements – Air sculpture. Like a sylph (from the Greek word silphe, meaning ‘butterfly’) rising through the air, the sculpture dominates the atmosphere with its “wings” outstretched.

 Elements – Air is an elegant sculpture for a garden, backyard, seaside venue, or town square.
