Thornton WillisThe Lattice Paintings at ELIZABETH HARRIS GALLERY
James Kalm drops in for an exhibition of recent paintings by one of the last stalwarts of New York School Abstract Expressionism, Thornton Willis. With Lattice Willis is re-investigating a compositional format he explored in the 1960s. After developing a signature image, that both drew attention and limited progression in the late seventies the wedge series was superseded by the crystal series. Lattice is a return to purely horizontal/vertical elements, reducing painterly forms to their most essential simplicity. Featuring an extended interview with Thornton Willis.
