Mary Case and Lindsy Halleckson’s exhibition

On Thursday, July 2nd, Wally Workman Gallery presents a two-person exhibition featuring painters Lindsy Halleckson and Mary Case. Bringing together two distinct yet complementary artistic practices, the exhibition explores the relationship between landscape, atmosphere, and environmental perception. While each artist approaches these themes from a different perspective, their works engage in a dialogue that highlights the interconnectedness of natural systems and the emotional resonance of the environments they depict. Lindsy Halleckson’s paintings investigate the often-invisible atmospheric effects of climate change by translating scientific research into subtle fields of color and carefully calibrated gradients. Her work renders environmental data into visual experiences that make imperceptible ecological transformations tangible, encouraging viewers to reflect on the fragility of the atmosphere and humanity’s changing relationship with the natural world. Through abstraction, Halleckson transforms scientific observation into contemplative spaces that evoke both beauty and environmental urgency. Mary Case’s paintings draw inspiration from the misty wetlands of her native Louisiana as well as the expansive landscapes of the Texas countryside, where she lived for many years. Her flowing compositions emphasize the textures, rhythms, and organic movement of the land, offering an earthly counterpart to Halleckson’s atmospheric investigations. Together, the artists create an exhibition grounded in a shared sensitivity to landscape, inviting viewers to experience land and sky as spaces of reflection, wonder, and restoration while considering the profound connections between ecological systems and human experience. Lindsy Halleckson lives and works in Minneapolis, MN. Mary Case lives and works near Covington, LA.
