NEW YORK, NY, November 4, 2021 – Over the course of a remarkable artistic career, Norman Lewis mastered realism, abstract expressionism, and minimalism, drawing from each to create a body of work that remains extraordinarily relevant. His range of techniques and restless vision are finally given the celebration they deserve in a new exhibition, Norman Lewis: Shades of Blackness, which features 9 paintings representing a distillation of Lewis’s artistic legacy. The exhibition runs from November 18, 2021 to January 29, 2022 at Bill Hodges Gallery in Chelsea, New York.
