First Floor Main Gallery

The California Nature Art Museum is pleased to announce its forthcoming exhibition, A Deeper Love: New Paintings Inspired by Coral Reefs, coming September 2024, featuring new work by artists Nansi Bielanski Gallup and David Gallup. 

A Deeper Love will offer a thoughtful artistic examination of the life, sub-marine landscape, and human interaction with coral reef ecosystems. While deepwater corals may be found in virtually every part of every ocean in the world, tropical coral reefs have the most powerful impact on human existence. It is estimated that up to one billion people rely on tropical coral reefs for food and income.

This long-term installation marks the third iteration of the Museum’s tower installation program, which aims to highlight Southern California artists inspired by the environment and provides an indoor-outdoor art experience for Solvang visitors.

Criss’ proposal was selected from the Museum’s 2023 request for artist proposals focusing on environmental impacts on the ocean.
