Relax, reflect, and reconnect with art. Libni López, local clinical therapist, and Ellis Lane (OC 2022), Curatorial Assistant in the Education Department, lead free, 45-minute Zoom mindfulness sessions centered on works from the Allen’s collection.
Image description: This four-image collage brings together works with strikingly different textures and moods:
Upper left: a dark, earthy painting with jagged plant forms against a warm architectural background.
Upper right: an outdoor installation featuring a weathered bowl-like object and vivid red cord on a moss-covered rock.
Lower left: a delicate folding screen with white herons among flowing blue-green grasses.
Lower right: a bold geometric abstraction in bright oranges, reds, blues, pinks, and greens.
Together, the images create a compelling contrast between nature and geometry, muted tones and saturated color, and historic and contemporary artistic approaches.
