Lynn Boggess
Plein Air
Painter
Lynn
paints from nature, in the field, as opposed to working in the studio from
photographs, which is how most contemporary landscape artists paint.
Many of his canvases are so large that he has to work from a modified
scaffold he builds for each painting.
He uses 5 different sizes of cement trowel as his brush. He goes out to the back-country
to a spot that moves him, sets up his easel, then camps at the site for
several days until his painting is finished.
He grew up on a farm near Parkersburg, West Virginia where most of his time
was spent out of doors. Painting on site takes him back to the
streams and hillsides.……..back in touch with his roots.
His
paintings at a distance look like photographs, one feels as though you are
walking in a stream or climbing a mountain path. Snow scenes capture
the wind blowing or the serene beauty of a snowy winter day.
He
has developed a unique style that is a combination of representational,
impressionistic and abstraction which he calls high realism. On close inspection, you’ll see the
thick luscious layers of oil paint which makes you want to touch the
painting.
Cooper Gallery is pleased to have been Lynn's premier private gallery
since 2001.
