Wave

Locals and tourists will enjoy observing the Lyman Whitaker art at the Marcus Ashley Gallery. Watch the sculptor’s work in action and take home a piece that speaks to you. Visitors often venture to the Sierra Nevada region to soak up Lake Tahoe’s untouched beauty and bustling art scene. The gallery is a highly reputed space to buy and view art in the region. We’re proud to curate some of the finest works of art by local, national, and global artists. Our staff is well-informed about the exhibits on display, including Lyman Whitaker’s wind sculptures. The sculptor is a virtuoso of metalwork, a craft that he’s cultivated and refined for over 40 years.

Whitaker’s Wave is as soothing and tranquil as the rhythmic ripples of a majestic sea. The sculptor places flat metallic elements with curved edges across two spinal columns. As the wind sculpture twirls on its axis, its impeccable form and shape come alive. Whitaker draws attention to one of the many facets of nature that often goes unnoticed. His wind sculptures pull the natural environment into focus to create a strong, cohesive narrative. Wave will empower and inspire others to rely on similarly sustainable solutions for the environment.
