  "account": "The Delaware Art Museum is excited to introduce a new exhibition, Lisa Bradley: Beyond Luminosity, opening on September 19, 2026. This exhibition marks the first public presentation of Bradley's most recent body of work, curated by DelArt Head Curator, Margaret Winslow, and Art Bridges Fellow, Hilda Delgado.\n\nWinslow describes Bradly's artwork as \"suspended in a luminous field of color,\" highlighting the artist's ability to transform the enigmatic into the tangible through delicate strokes and bold gestures. As an abstraction artist, Bradley has played an essential role in shaping the genre's progression. Art historian Carter Ratcliff has even referred to Bradley's work as embodying \"a pause between the pulses of some vast and luminous energy.\"\n\nBradley's career has defied trends and clichés, marking a significant advancement in the realm of abstract painting. Her art stems from a deep connection to spiritual experience, which she channels into a captivating interplay of movement and stillness, evoking a sense of time suspended.\n\nThe exhibition features a selection of 10 large-scale paintings and eight works on paper, further enriching DelArt's ongoing relationship with the artist. Notably, Bradley's Akasa II has been a beloved fixture in the Museum's galleries since 2009, enchanting visitors of all ages and solidifying its place within the contemporary collection.\n\nComplementing the exhibition is a 120-page monograph, offering valuable insights from esteemed curators, critics, and art historians.
