About the Item
Toni Flynn attended the Art Students League in New York City, the storied institution where Jackson Pollack, Robert Rauschenberg, Alexander Calder, and Georgia O’Keefe studied. At the end of her ten years at the League, she won the prestigious Merit Prize. Before that, Flynn studied Studio Art and Art History at Wellesley College.
Flynn’s earlier work includes portraits and landscapes, as well as still lives. Now she works in the Abstract Expressionist tradition, focusing on color and line, movement and quiet, light and dark. She plays with the separate elements, rearranging them until finding the balance she seeks. Sometimes the process takes weeks and months; sometimes it takes years.
“I work for months on the same painting, adding layers of color and shape until it looks complete. Then I wait. After days or weeks, I look again with a fresh eye. I am looking for what is missing, where to add, where to simplify. Slowly the painting changes, becoming more nuanced, more balanced.”
Earlier Flynn painted with water colors but predominantly with oil pigments. Now she prefers acrylic for its vibrancy and lightness. Through her painting she pays tribute to the painters Joan Mitchell, Willem de Kooning, and Cy Twombly.
Flynn has exhibited at Lincoln Center in New York, at the Katonah Museum, the Palm Springs Museum of Art and in Normandy, France.

- PRISMATIC SERIES #2 VERMILLION/YELLOW/TURQUOISEBy Linda JacobsonLocated in Palm Desert, CAThe Prismatic Series is based on light, movement and color, abstract paintings expressing the changing qualities of the external world, without any limitations of form.

- Ma #06Located in Antwerpen, VANMA (間 ) Is a Japanese term that can be translated as "interval", "space", "pause" or "empty space between two structural elements." It is an aesthetic, philosophical and artistic concept, also frequently used in everyday life. It is also linked to the Mahāyāna Buddhist philosophy, in which the doctrine of emptiness is central MA, intended as "void full of meaning", used in art «An imaginary room that is in an indefinite position between the sky and the earth, is said to be the original way to represent the concept of but. We imagine both spatial and temporal uncertainty simultaneously: the room is neither in one place nor in the other, it is in an indescribable space " Delineating space spontaneously marks non-outlined voids, which is where freedom of interpretation and reflection can fill it up. This empty space is profoundly beautiful, full of mystery and promise. In significant ways the empty space contributes a unique quality of structure, balance and definition in a composition. In this series, extra attention is paid to the structures and textures of original and natural materials, and organic shapes. For the beholder, the empty space is calming as well as energizing.
