Gavin Lynch: Omega

Although he is based in Wakefi eld, Quebec, after art studies in Vancouver and Ottawa, Gavin Lynch evinces a vivid feeling for landscape that may have originated in his northern British Columbia childhood. He handles natural forms in a collage-like way, juxtaposing sharply delineated forms with areas of more painterly fluidity. His palette also embodies contrasts between the naturalistic and the hallucinatory. For Lynch, landscape symbolizes “time, eternity, change, impermanence, life and death.”
