G. Campbell Lyman
Santa Fe Series #6 (Contemporary Abstract Painting)

1997

About the Item

Artist's Statement "College tuitions are headed my way, so I am letting go of some things I held on to from the past. This is from my Santa Fe series, the only one I have left. To me, it really captured the experience of the time I spent in the Southwest, a magical place if there ever was one." (You can see the artist's more recent paintings by searching on the artist's name or visiting our storefront.) G. Campbell Lyman's paintings up until now have all been sold privately, directly to collectors and designers, often before completion. They are in collections from Beirut, to London, to Madrid. There is no availability in the secondary (auction) market as of now. These paintings have been placed not only in contemporary settings, but surprisingly in rooms of fine antiques as well, creating a tension between the classic and the contemporary -- like the abstract works you sometimes see in uber-traditional dining and living rooms of seasoned collectors. This is a large painting that will make its present felt throughout an entire room. “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.” ArtSeen, 2018
