Revelations: The Art of Leo Twiggs Exhibition

Despite his legacy as a trailblazer, Leo Twiggs has never had a full retrospective in his home state of South Carolina. The Gibbes aims to remedy that by celebrating his visionary career, showcasing his iconic Batik technique and profound reflections on the American experience across six decades of work. Guest-curated by art historian Dr. Frank Martin, the exhibition—accompanied by a full-color catalogue—will mark the 50th anniversary of Twiggs’ first solo show at the Gibbes in 1976.

Organized by the Gibbes Museum of Art, this exhibition is generously supported in part by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina and the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation.
