Remembering Lev Mills/Selections from the Permanent Collection
12pm - 5pm
Of his work, Lev Mills stated “I Classify myself as a ‘Constructionist.’ I create by building ideas up, tearing them down and rebuilding again until the subject matter, design, and color have been integrated into a unified visual statement. My intentions are not to shock but to move my audience. It does not matter to me if it is a positive or negative reaction. My symbolism is not to confuse, teach, preach or analyze but to stimulate the observer’s imagination to draw a conclusion.”
Originally from Tallahassee, Florida, Lev Mills received a B.A. from Florida A&M University, an MA and MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a Post-Graduate certificate from the Slade School of Fine Arts, University College, London. In addition to his exceptional career as an artist Mills was a Professor of Art at Clark College (1973-1978) and Spelman College, Atlanta, GA (1978- 2009). He received numerous accolades and awards for his artwork during his lifetime and his work appeared in countless group and solo exhibitions both nationally and internationally.
