Early life and education

Lily Stockman studied Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University, during which time she spent five months in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia apprenticing in Buddhist thangka painting at the Union of Mongolian Artists. In 2011, Stockman moved to Jaipur, India to study pigment and Mughal miniature painting. Her time in India culminated with an exhibition at the Threshold Art Gallery in Delhi.[1] Stockman taught undergraduate painting for two years and received her MFA in studio art from New York University, where she studied with painter Maureen Gallace.

Work

Lily Stockman is a contemporary artist known for her unique painting practice, characterized by a vibrant and abstract approach to landscape and color. Stockman's work often involves large-scale canvases that feature bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vivid palette. In addition to her exploration of color, Stockman's paintings often evoke a sense of place and a connection to the natural world, even as they move towards abstraction. She is known for her ability to capture the essence of landscapes and environments while allowing for interpretation and personal reflection.

Stockman's work has been exhibited at Gagosian in Athens, Greece, Charles Moffett and Cheim & Read in New York, Almine Rech and Timothy Taylor in London, Massimo de Carlo in London, Milan, and Paris, Jessica Silverman and Berggruen Gallery in San Francisco, Night Gallery, Regen Projects, and the Underground Museum in Los Angeles.

The New Yorker writes, "Stockman’s compositions are both diagrammatic and vaporous, a combination that calls to mind the spiritualist abstractions of the American modernist Agnes Pelton. Although they’re more lyrical, Stockman’s nested shapes also have some of the meticulous magic of Josef Albers’s squares."[2]

Her work has also been reviewed in The New York Times, The Brooklyn Rail, Interview (magazine), The Paris Review, New York Magazine, Los Angeles Times, and Artnet among other publications.

Stockman's work is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., Institute of Contemporary Art (Miami), the Palm Springs Art Museum, the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, ME, the Phoenix Art Museum, and the Orange County Museum of Art in Costa Mesa, CA where she was included in the 2022 California Biennial.
