Work

Lily Stockman is a contemporary artist known for her unique painting practice, characterized by a vibrant and abstract approach to landscape and color. Stockman's work often involves large-scale canvases that feature bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vivid palette. In addition to her exploration of color, Stockman's paintings often evoke a sense of place and a connection to the natural world, even as they move towards abstraction. She is known for her ability to capture the essence of landscapes and environments while allowing for interpretation and personal reflection.

Stockman's work has been exhibited at Gagosian Gallery in Athens, Greece, Charles Moffett and Cheim & Read in New York, Almine Rech and Timothy Taylor in London, Massimo de Carlo in London, Milan, and Paris, Jessica Silverman and Berggruen Gallery in San Francisco, Night Gallery, Regen Projects, and the Underground Museum in Los Angeles.

The New Yorker writes, "Stockman’s compositions are both diagrammatic and vaporous, a combination that calls to mind the spiritualist abstractions of the American modernist Agnes Pelton. Although they’re more lyrical, Stockman’s nested shapes also have some of the meticulous magic of Josef Albers’s squares." [2]

Her work has also been reviewed in The New York Times , The Brooklyn Rail , Interview, The Paris Review , New York, Los Angeles Times and Artnet among other publications.

Stockman's work is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., Institute of Contemporary Art (Miami), the Palm Springs Art Museum, the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, ME, the Phoenix Art Museum, and the Orange County Museum of Art in Costa Mesa, CA where she was included in the 2022 California Biennial.
