"Hull merged art-making and the Southern art of 'visiting' to craft a creative practice that allowed her to commune with her inner spirit, her Creator, her community, and visitors from around the state, region, and world."
"As a Black woman from a small Southern community, working within a genre often referred to as folk art, the artist worked outside of the mainstream art world."
"Love Is a Sensation spotlights Hull's contributions to not only the creative legacy of the South but the tradition of artist-built environments."
L.V. Hull, an unusual artist from Kosciusko, Mississippi, transformed her home and garden into an elaborate artwork using found objects and paint. Her work is showcased in the Love Is a Sensation exhibition at the Mississippi Museum of Art, celebrating her eclectic approach. Hull's art merges creativity with daily living, reflecting her Southern roots and community connections. As a Black woman in folk art, her contributions have been marginalized, highlighting the need for a more complete account of American art history. The exhibition runs until June 14 and introduces the L.V. Hull Legacy Center.
