Thornton Willis A Painting Survey Six Decades: Works from 1967 - 2017


David Richard Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition for New York- based artist Thornton Willis, his first exhibition with the gallery and in depth survey of his paintings spanning six decades. The presentation will include geometric and color abstractions created by Willis in New York from 1967 through 2017 with a focus on iconic examples from each of his important aesthetic series: Slats, Wedges, Zig-Zags, Triangles, Prismatics, Lattices, Cityscapes, and Steps. While mid-sized and smaller artworks are available by Willis, the focus is on the large-scale paintings, of which many have not been presented in decades.
