About the Item
The artist Carole Garland is a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers and so thought a painting of sporting figures in
motion would pay tribute. At the start of the 2023 season, the artist imagines a happy time when the
players are having a bit of fun. The artist punctuates the moment with a Greek chorus of enthusiasts
expressing their unabashed joy.
While the painting’s meaning is clear, the details are ambiguous. The artist experiments with
rectangular blocks which filter the sun and colorful rectangles which amplify the players’
movements.
Carole Garland has shown in many Southern California venues, most recently at TAG Gallery,
Bergamot Station; realART Gallery; West Los Angeles College Gallery; the Rose Cafe, Venice;
the Santa Paula Art Museum, and the Studio Channel Islands Gallery, Camarillo. She is in
numerous art collections in Southern California and throughout the country.
