Opening Reception for Lynette Lombard: The Air We Breathe: Paintings
March 3, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
Bowery Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of Lynette Lombard’s vibrantly expressionistic paintings.
There will be an opening reception on Thursday, March 3, 5pm-8pm.
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.
Proof of vaccination is required to enter the gallery. All visitors to the gallery must wear masks.
