SILVERLENS is thrilled to present Masks and Spirits, a solo exhibition by the late Filipino-American artist, Pacita Abad. This show, which lifts its title from Abad’s celebrated series, will feature five vibrant large-scale trapunto paintings from 1982 through 1994. While the gallery has previously shown Masks and Spirits works outside the country, this exhibition marks the first time Abad’s pieces will be gathered and displayed in Silverlens’ space. We invite the public, on the anniversary of her birth month, to view this special homecoming exhibition.
