"Cloistered, the small but dazzling exhibit of Ida Kohlmeyer paintings at Berry Campbell presents a lesson to all young artists struggling to break free of the influence of their mentors and teachers: The arc of an artist’s career is often a long one, and the influences that define you today will likely be different from the ones that mark your work in the future. Kohlmeyer’s work underwent a long series of stylistic transformations throughout her life. The exhibit at Berry Campbell (a reprise of a similar show from 2020) focuses on two pivotal years, 1968-1969. The five large paintings and one sculpture here represent a transitional moment in Kohlmeyer’s search for her own mature style."
