Her artwork is part of more than 25 public collections including the New York City Public Library and The Brooklyn Museum. Artist Statement I paint to find answers – to facilitate dialogue between data collected through my life experiences and that which I cannot perceive. The picture plane is the arena in which I seek the connection between these two disparate realms: one tangible, informed by entropy of the urban spaces I encounter daily and the other, a vibrant metaphysical space that comes from within. I’m attracted to surfaces worn through time and use. There is no doubt, a romanticism in the decay of urban entropy, but it is also a record—a blueprint of lives lived. The surface of my work is dappled with shapes borrowed from the tiles and peeling paint that fall from these decaying surfaces. The Digit series; which are some combination of water-based spray paint, acrylic wash, and linoleum printing on paper or panel. My work is directly informed by the environment in which it is made. Past residencies, held in such places as Wyoming and rural Virginia, have introduced new directions in my work. For example, the soil is so rich in petroleum in Wyoming that it commonly catches fire when struck by lightning, creating red toned earth called clinker. These intense, disturbing, saturated reds and oranges found their way into my work and continues to be an influence. Recent iterations include barriers like fencing that still allows the viewer into the seething space. The Digit series deals with the aforementioned duality, directly juxtaposing the tangible and metaphysical spaces while also exploring my identity. The series features my fingerprints (stamped linoleum prints) which not only refer to my physical self (and the tangible world) but also to my personal history. I grew up knowing almost nothing about my father’s side of the family, causing a lifelong curiosity and fueling my artwork. Recently, I found out why: I discovered the existence of a relative who was an infamous gangster. This gave the fingerprints a different, darker energy.

  • Along the Coast
    By Lilian Mackendrick
    Located in Missouri, MO
    Framed Size: 29 x 38.5 inches Lilian MacKendrick was a natural born artist. She had a talent that was intuitive and a searching artistic intellect. The daughter of Russian emigrants, she grew up in the art world of New York's Armory Show. A graduate of New York University with a degree in Fine Arts, she went on to study sculpture at City College of New York as well as painting at the Art Students League. Her early attempts were in the non-objective field. Despite her tremendous admiration for the great European painters of the 18th & 19th centuries (she copied, as a learning exercise, all the drawings of Goya and Rembrandt in this country), her tastes, since childhood, were for Oriental rather than American and European painting which she found "too violent." But she continued her exploration of the fusion of East and West, arriving at a synthesis that has been described, among other things, as a "recovery of the image." Some of her work, however, has echoes of the work of the French masters Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse; a reference that the artist herself would not find offensive. She regularly spent summer vacations in France. Many observers of her work say that her paintings make them feel that life is good again; that there is something wonderful and exciting about the world they are eager to see when they wake up in the morning, and that her paintings are 'singular and striking'. Jane Janson's statement in regards to MacKendrick's 1958 exhibition at Hirschl & Adler Galleries easily applies to some of her painting: "Her range of blazing summer color and exuberant pattern captivate the eye, and lend renewed zest to a realm which has been ignored for awhile, and to which we return with instinctive delight." "Has seen" is the operative phrase because her works are rarely seen these days, although there are over 400 works in private collections. A devastating flood in her studio in 1984 destroyed a number of works.
