Charles Moffett is pleased to announce a solo presentation of 22 new works by Los Angeles-based painter Lily Stockman, on view at the gallery’s Canal Street space from September 4 through October 18.
The body of works, which Stockman created in stolen bursts during the pandemic lockdown (which shortly followed the birth of her second child), evolved throughout the seismic cultural reckoning of the spring and summer of 2020, a period Stockman refers to as “everything, all at once.” In Stockman’s physically closed-off world during this six-month period, she found new meaning in the details of her surroundings: the company of a praying mantis, the doctor’s cell phone number jotted down on an electric bill, a packet of flower seeds mailed from her mother, labeled “PLANT ASAP GOOD BLOOMER” in her mother’s comforting script. Stockman designates these items, and others that inspired her mindset while creating the body of works, to be “transitional objects on their way to metaphor.”
Seed, Stone, Mirror, Match marks Stockman’s first solo presentation with Charles Moffett under representation, and third show with the gallery overall. Stockman has exhibited with Cheim & Read in New York, Timothy Taylor in London, and Regen Projects in Los Angeles.
