Mary Lovelace O'Neal's *Requiem* is the first posthumous exhibition of the painter, born in 1942 in Jackson, Mississippi, who died in May 2026. Focusing on works from the 1980s and 1990s, including *Requiem for a Daffodil* (1997), the show traces a pivotal period in a long career. Across these paintings, O'Neal moves fluidly between abstraction and figuration, exploring gesture, color and memory.
