Findlay Galleries is proud to announce the opening of
Signs & Symbols on January 2nd, 2021 an exhibition exploring the highly important works of abstract surrealist, Leonard Edmondson. The California native, painter, printmaker, educator, and author, was born in Sacramento in 1916. His work can be found in many prestigious collections. He has garnered a long list of exhibitions at some of the most reputable institutions such as The Whitney Museum and the Guggenheim, the latter awarding him a grant in 1960. Edmondson’s abstract works are all-over compositions in which biomorphic shapes float through an atmosphere of soft color. His art is concerned with cognition and demonstrates his interest in relationships, both conceptual and formal. His paintings and prints share a delicate line, a concern with the tonal gradations of textured backgrounds, and a refined elegance.
