Holly Lane & Cybele Young December 17, 2009

Forum Gallery presents the two-woman exhibition Holly Lane / Cybele Young. Toronto artist Cybele Young produces unique, colorful, dimensional "paintings" entirely created from handmade Japanese paper and her own copperplate etchings. Living in Northern California, Holly Lane prefers to work in solitude to germinate the ideas for her iconographic altarpieces. A self-taught wood carver, Lane uses elaborate carving to bring each work into three-dimensions. Many of Lane's intricate works focus around surreal allegorical scene paintings of modern-day fairy tales and narratives about the role of women in society, spiritual faith, and the environment.
