Commissioned Artist

Calling to mind 1970s feminist abstraction with her use of muted colors and soft forms, Lily Stockman’s paintings retain a mysterious and contemporary quality. In her most recent body of work, Stockman draws inspiration from Derek Jarman’s postmodern garden on the rugged coast of England, where the inhospitable terrain is framed by geometric beds of native plants and collected stones. Stockman takes up the gardener’s own challenge on the surface of her canvases—to impose a sense of order on the landscape while working within its parameters.
