About the Item
From the recent series combining tar with oil and acrylic, a painting using a limited palette to powerful effect. Artist's statement: "After a period of making big, colorful acrylic paintings, I went back to something I did a few years ago: creating the composition using lines of tar, and then going in with oil and acrylic - stopping at a certain point each day and then returning to the picture to see if freshly, and quickly addressing imbalances that were newly apparent due to this fresh look. It was towards the end that I added the opaque whiteness you see in some of the contained areas. The negative space has been heavily worked and layered, and I left the strokiness. As you can see, I limited my color palette (purposely) - there is one indulgence of intense blue at the lower left. The painting I am currently working on also incorporates tar and uses a limited palette, but has a looser composition than this one."
“Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings. The negative space is often so meticulously worked that it’s almost as if the objects – usually simple shapes – are there as much to complement the background as vice versa. Despite the often bold colors there is an elegance about his paintings that prevents them from being either loud or decorative. "
Artbeit Zeitschrift
“His paintings are a refreshing departure from the current abstract art world’s seemingly endless parade of fields of color with scribbles providing form, a style that is easily mimicked and has become a sort of “safe,” accessible go-to. There are confident decisions in these paintings appearing as commitments of strongly delineated forms and unexpected collisions of color that give the work a visceral, confident and playful soul, increasingly missing from contemporary expressionist abstraction. They are the paintings of a real painter rather than a decorative artist.”

- Lexicon (Large)By Guy LymanLocated in New Orleans, LAArtist's Statement: "This painting harkens back to a series called "Gridish" that I created over the past couple of years, comprising similar rectangular shapes with complex surfaces incorporating tar, house paint, enamel safety paint and other materials. Here, though, the forms are isolated in negative space rather than stacked in a grid, which gives them a more iconic quality." “Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings.
