Description
Lynn Boggess' tactile landscapes consist of seemingly endless layers of thick, lush paint.
Event Details
In his landscapes Lynn captures the rushing movement of water, snowy hillsides, the rigidness of trees, the vibrancy of changing leaves, and the mood of each season. Boggess titles each painting the date they were created.
"Titling paintings the date they were created is certainly practical, yet it has a deeper significance for me. Landscape painting, as I approach it, is about recording the impressions of what the season, weather, and light of a particular place..on a particular day, and that fits in well, I think, with the idea of plein air painting, which is how almost all of my paintings begin - out in places, on locations of the scenes they depict. Plein air is, at its core, a document of an experience." - Lynn Boggess
The Opening Reception for Lynn Boggess' Solo Exhibition will be held on Friday, April 19th from 6:30-9pm. To request the Lynn Boggess Exhibition Preview, please contact info@principlegallery.com
