Caryl Wolff

The exhibition will be presented online only, there will be NO IN-GALLERY RECEPTION EVENT.

Emeritus Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of vibrant colored pencil drawings by Caryl Wolff. Wolff's incredibly focused and prolific practice has resulted in more than 500 recently completed works. Her colored pencil renderings range in subject matter, even into geometric abstraction, but she most commonly returns to portraiture. Though human portraits do factor in, Wolff seems most inspired by animals. Her animal drawings feel very much like portraits rather than clinical studies, each one imbued with dignity and singularity.

The artist has requested that any proceeds from the exhibition be donated to organizations in support of CA fire disaster relief. 

Please view the exhibition with the link below. A live Zoom Virtual Launch Event featuring the artist speaking about her work — and hosted by Emeritus Gallery Curator Jesse Benson — will be held Thursday January 30, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Please click the link below to join us on Zoom.
