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.”

The gallery walls were painted in shades of white and gray to emphasize the portraits. Each photo is accompanied by a simple label, telling the piece s name in IsiZulu and English and the year and place it was taken. The lack of context is intentional, Keris said, so people viewing the art can make their own judgments about it.
