Bowery Gallery presents an exhibition of Lynette Lombard’s vibrantly expressionistic paintings. Describing the process and inspiration behind these exuberant works, the artist writes:
As a perceptual painter I have found my recent inspiration in two places: the midwestern townscape I saw from my studio window during lockdown and the third-oldest restored prairie, Green Oaks, twenty minutes from my home. These scenes have sustained me through the pandemic.
At Green Oaks, I found release from the daily terrors of Covid, environmental and civil rights injustices, and experiences of loss during 2020-22; the range of life forms animated my work. At home, I painted the color relationships between the clouds and the buildings, at once drastic and precise. In search of the air all living things breathe, I become consumed by intervals, spatial fluxes, slipping forms and sky, but also by the tremendous complexity in the way nature is organized.
