Imar Lyman
Echo/Location:
Exploring the Extra-Sensory
a solo exhibition featuring the work of Imar Lyman, on view at The Kreeger Museum from April 17 through July 11, 2026. This exhibition is presented under The Collaborative, a program developed by The Kreeger Museum to support Washington-area artists.
Echolocation is a form of biological sonic radar. Used as a tool for some animals to “see” and navigate their environments, sound waves are emitted to avoid prey and find their way in the dark.
Echo/Location showcases DC-based artist Imar Lyman’s [Hutchins] (b. 1970) new body of abstract work. Bringing together mixed media collage, painting, sculpture and printmaking, his artistry is in conversation with artists Sam Gilliam and Frank Stella, masterworks that have anchored The Kreeger Museum’s Contemporary Gallery since 1994 when the Museum opened to the public.
Imar Lyman’s debut exhibition at the museum utilizes “echoes” from the past to navigate the current moment and propel different points of view forward. Several pieces featured invite participation, asking the viewer to consider how the artwork is presented or to explore its form and function—things which may not always appear immediately obvious. Constantly pushing boundaries, he also pays homage to overlooked aspects of printmaking traditions. The culmination becomes an energetic loop of color, patterns, and materiality that blend time and our place within it.

David and Carmen Kreeger with Joan Miró and Pilar Juncosa, 1973.
Joan Miró (Spanish, 1893-1983), was a groundbreaking artist of the 20th century, whose experimental works were rooted in Surrealism. Having achieved notable success in painting by 1925 with his Pierre Loeb Gallery exhibition, he began making prints in 1929 to further push the boundaries of his practice. He often worked in concert with other printmakers, such as Roger Lacourière, Stanley William Hayter, Fernand Mourlot, and Aimé Maeght, honing his craft through collaboration and inspiration.
Miró utilized unique materials and innovative techniques in his colorful artworks. He used woodcut, lithograph, intaglio, and carborundum processes to produce single subject and series prints, as well as book illustrations, which he printed on diverse materials (including silk, Guarro paper, and handmade paper, seen in this exhibition). Over the course of his 70-year career, Miró created more than 2,000 prints.
