The Lobby Gallery at 499 Park Avenue is pleased to present Heat & Shadow, an exhibition of paintings by New York-based artist Kim Uchiyama, beginning September 22, 2022. Inspired by time spent in Sicily, the works on view have an earthy, visceral presence, using color and material to capture the essence of the Mediterranean island. These “slow paintings” reward slow looking - as Uchiyama notes, "light and shadow are seemingly opposite, yet together they outline the course of each day, conveying us from one moment to the next." The exhibition is accompanied by a brochure and essay by Lilly Wei and is the ninth show organized at 499 Park Avenue by Jay Grimm Art Advisory.

860 Washington Street is pleased to present works by Washington, DC-based painter and sculptor Lilian Thomas Burwell in the lobby gallery through September 2022. Depicting the natural world through an abstract lens, Burwell renders her two-dimensional paintings in a bold palette, delving into the folds and patterns of various flora and fauna. These sweeping fields of color effortlessly transition into the peaks and valleys of her sculptural paintings, where she continues to build upon her exploration of organic forms.
At 94 years old, Burwell had her first New York solo exhibition at Berry Campbell Gallery in April of 2021. Her work was also included in Magnetic Fields: Expanding American Abstraction, 1960s to Today, an intergenerational exhibition highlighting 21 Black female abstract practitioners that traveled from Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, to The National Museum of Women in the Arts in DC, and the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Florida. Her work and life are the subject of the recent documentary film Kindred Spirits: Artists Hilda Wilkinson Brown and Lilian Thomas Burwell.
This exhibition was produced in partnership with Berry Campbell Gallery.
