Lisa Naples: Grounded in Gold
On view through November 23, 2025

Across art history, gold has long represented what is sacred and precious. Drawing from this symbolism, Lisa Naples’ most recent group of abstract and animal sculptures is literally and metaphorically grounded in this material. With either two chimney-like openings or two rabbits facing towards or away from one another, these sculptures communicate not only the wide range of human experiences lived within and outside one’s self but also the common dignity that lies underneath each expression. Whether moments of tenderness or estrangement, Naples’ works invite viewers to understand these experiences as ones still grounded in gold.
