David Lusk Gallery

David Lusk Gallery Contemporary Art Gallery in Memphis, Tennessee. When I started this business in Memphis in 1995 my goals were easy:

1. And, it's been a good time.

Have a good time representing a small crowd of talented artists (some with national reputations, others new to any gallery; some from this region, others from the coasts).

2. Expose my clients (in Memphis and internationally) to the artworks my artists create. This many years later David Lusk Gallery still abides by those goals. We've had good luck together -- both artists and clients. Please let Robert Hollingsworth, Lees Romano, Gregory Smith, Aaron Harper, or me know how we can help. Email us at [email protected]. Or better yet, come visit.

MEMPHIS

A look at one of the works currently on view in Prairie, a new exhibition by Nashville based artist Emily Leonard at David Lusk Gallery Memphis.

Leonard’s paintings capture the shifting energy of the natural world through layers of color, gesture, and movement. Bright yellows, oranges, greens, and purples move through softer passages of muted color, while directional marks and thin washes give the surfaces a sense of constant motion. Natural forms appear throughout the work, sometimes recognizable and sometimes reduced to moments of color and shape.

Prairie is on view through Saturday, October 10.

NASHVILLE

A look inside “Townes Ferry Pike,” now on view at David Lusk Gallery Nashville.

Ian Edward White’s photographs move through Middle Tennessee, finding moments of familiarity in overlooked places, changing landscapes, and everyday encounters. Together, the work considers how a sense of place can be shaped by memory, nostalgia, and personal experience.

“Townes Ferry Pike” is on view through Saturday, October 3.

Featuring recent photographs by Nashville based artist Ian Edward White, the exhibition brings together four years of work made throughout Middle Tennessee.

NASHVILLE

David Lusk Gallery is excited to present Townes Ferry Pike, a solo exhibition of recent photographs by Nashville based artist Ian Edward White, on view September 1 through October 3 at David Lusk Gallery Nashville.

Over the past four years, White has traveled throughout Middle Tennessee, making photographs in communities including Murfreesboro, Shelbyville, McMinnville, and Columbia. Rather than documenting the region through its familiar landmarks, White turns his attention to quieter moments of its inhabitants and geography, chance encounters, overlooked spaces, changing weather, and the subtle exchanges that reveal the complexities of everyday life.

Working within the lyrical documentary tradition, White photographs familiar places in ways that resist easy interpretation. His images allow meaning to emerge through atmosphere, composition, and association, presenting Middle Tennessee as both a real place and a psychological one shaped by memory, nostalgia, seasonal change, and personal history.

MEMPHIS

David Lusk Gallery is excited to present Prairie, a new body of work by Nashville based artist Emily Leonard, on view September 1 through October 10 at David Lusk Gallery Memphis.

Known for her abstracted paintings of the natural world, Leonard turns her attention in this exhibition to the openness, movement, and changing color of the prairie landscape. Working primarily in oil on panel, Leonard builds her paintings through layers of loose brushwork, washes, drips, and fragmented shapes. Flowers and other natural forms emerge and dissolve across the surface, sometimes immediately recognizable and other times reduced to gestures of color and movement.

Rather than rendering a landscape exactly as it appears, Leonard is interested in the experience of looking and the way our eyes move through a place. Throughout Prairie, her compositions move between moments of openness and areas of dense activity, distilling observations of seasons changing, plants growing and receding, and colors appearing and fading.
