This exhibition features fanciful landscapes and portraits of curious trees from niches around Illinois and France. Lyons' whimsical representations of landscapes and trees are inspired by the Fauves, especially Andre Derain. The paintings invite viewers on a journey into a world of sensations through the forms, colors, and brushstrokes that they encounter on the canvas. Lyons takes into account what might otherwise be overlooked by passersby to transform the mundane into the extraordinary.
