WALK WITH ME

Oceanside Museum of Art | Oceanside, CA

March 1, 2025 - July 6, 2025

In partnership with Hohmann Inc.

Drawing inspiration from the diverse landscapes surrounding the artist’s home in rural Oregon, this exhibition transforms the gallery at Oceanside Museum of Art into an immersive experience. Through free-standing steel and aluminum sculptures, suspended works, and intricate wall installations, visitors are transported to a meditative world of forms that evoke the serenity of nature.

Each work begins with moments of quiet observation—whether it’s the arc of a bird in flight, the rustling of wind through leaves, or the gentle rhythm of falling rain. These elements are distilled into abstract sculptural forms, reflecting the harmony of nature’s rhythms and interconnectedness. Devine’s work responds to these surroundings, offering a grounding experience that reconnects viewers with the earth and their own sense of balance.

Walk with Me emerges from the artist’s personal journey of overcoming anxiety and depression, finding peace through daily walks and the meditative process of creating sculpture. In an era dominated by digital distractions, the need to disengage from the virtual world and re-engage with the tangible beauty of the natural world has never been more urgent. Through this exhibition, Devine shares the profound calm and connection he’s found in his natural surroundings, inviting visitors to discover their own moments of stillness and inspiration within the quiet strength of the sculptures.
