NUANCE Recent Paintings by Sherry Cromwell-Lacy
November 2, 2018 - January 26, 2019 Front Gallery
“Nuance – Recent Paintings by Sherry Cromwell-Lacy,” is the first one-person exhibition for the well-known art curator, and former Director of Exhibitions at Kansas City Art Institute from 1972 – 1994. While Cromwell-Lacy is renowned for her cutting-edge contemporary shows and exhibitions of rare ethnographic art, few realize that throughout her career she has always been a practicing artist. Her abstract art works, in various scales, are as visually appealing as they are simultaneously elusive. Colors and forms shape-shift, appear and disappear, then effortlessly float to the surface. They embody the poetic, with references to landscape and an unabashed, if always delicate, ode to joy. Cromwell-Lacy’s sheer delight in painting is a tonic.
