For her first major solo show in the UK, Mary Corse presents new and historically significant work at her inaugural exhibition at Lisson Gallery, London. Based in Los Angeles, Corse has built a practice that occupies an independent space at the intersection of minimalist painting, Abstract Expressionism and scientific inquiry. Obsessively engaging with light and perception, Corse’s paintings embody rather than merely represent light, experimenting with the concept of subjective experience in new and innovative ways. From lightboxes to painting embedded with materials that refract light, Corse combines a philosophical quest for the portrayal of the infinite with a highly skilled methodical and scientific rigour. The exhibition at Lisson Gallery London coincides with two major presentations of the artist’s work in the United States: Corse’s first solo museum survey this June at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and a long-term installation at Dia:Beacon with recently acquired works, opening in May.
Lisson Gallery’s exhibition will feature ten works, including seven new works created specifically for the show. The presentation will include a selection from Corse’s White Black White and White Inner Band painting series, alongside a new lightbox – with works spanning from 2003 to 2018.
First gaining recognition in the mid-1960s, Corse is widely recognised for her innovative painting technique using materials which both capture and refract light.
