Gallery 4

1n a 1998 issue of Vie des Arts magazine, John K. Grande observed: “The patterns of energy we see in nature are incredibly similar whether in solid living forms such as the bark of a tree, the patterns of a leaf or a river delta or in the wave actions of water and cloud formations. Something of this universal principle of nature’s energy emerges in Lorne’s incredibly sensitive renderings of experience.

"These confrontations with nature’s energetics also bring Wagman to nature’s life and death cycles, exemplified in paintings such as the Mossy Stump series. Almost architectural in rendering, remnants of once great trees offer nobility amongst the new life they help to enrich.

"Enchantment, being charmed or bewitched, relates to incantation, to singing. At his best, Wagman takes us right to the heart of the central flow dynamics of nature, the insistence and persistence of life itself, visually singing a thanksgiving."
