On June 10th, LewAllen Galleries will unveil a collection of Emily Mason’s rhapsodies in oil, composed from luscious color orchestrations and graceful brushwork that together mark the confident hand of a masterful artist. Her distinctive brand of color abstraction has earned her a prominent place in the annals of American modernism.

Color is the primary means by which Mason’s paintings are structured. Its forms and shapes, veils and layers, darts and furls ripple across her canvases and comprise singular argots of painterly sensibility and sensation.
