Julius Lyles: Ideal Beauty
@ THE WILLIAM HILL GALLERY on COTTAGE
Opening Friday, July 7th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Sunday, August 6th
This solo presentation applies an aesthetical representation of the quintessence of beauty suggesting the outlines of Nubian Queens, Royalty, Empresses, Madams, Warriors and freedom fighters. Each of the artworks on display beckons us to take a look, upon which the contours of a new reality begin to emerge. A deeper insight into the juxtaposition of the roots of splendor and modern attraction through a non-linear temporal aesthetic thread that challenges the rigidity of periods and genres.
Ideal Beauty invites the viewer to investigate the manifold ways by which the female human form naturally produces renewed beauty in appearances and meanings. These fluid compositions radiate an almost afro-futuristic style in design, yet presents a regal attractiveness, representing a characteristic present in nature, art, and human form.
Organized by Curator William Hill, this exhibition includes 20 new photographic collages.
