Berry Campbell is pleased to present
Lilian Thomas Burwell: Soaring. This exhibition marks the esteemed Maryland-based artist’s first solo exhibition in New York. The exhibition title,
Soaring, is an homage to the late Dr. David Driskell’s essay,
Soaring With a Painterly Voice, written on the occasion of Burwell’s 1997 survey exhibition at Hampton University Museum, Virginia. Driskell described Burwell’s work as, “transcendental in showing stylistic diversity of earthly beauty and cosmic vision.”
Lilian Thomas Burwell: Soaring, organized by guest curator, Melissa Messina, highlights the dynamic transition in Burwell’s abstract visual language from two-dimensional painterly planes to three-dimensional sculptural forms. Burwell’s paintings from the late 1970s and early 1980s employ a distinctly bold palette and reference organic forms found in natural floral and earthly phenomena. The exhibition centers on the painting
