Toni Flynn
A Hint of Finality

2021

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/TURQUOISE
By Linda Jacobson
Located in Palm Desert, CA
The Prismatic Series is based on light, movement and color, abstract paintings expressing the changing qualities of the external world, without any limitations of form. Prismatic Series #2 is painted with many layers of oil glazes over acrylic washes to create luminous color. On gallery wrapped canvas. Linda Jacobson's paintings are lyrical abstractions inspired by her love of landscape and its elements: form, movement, light, and what she perceives to be its essence an energy or quality that goes beyond visual appearance. Born in Los Angeles, she received her BFA from California State College, Northridge, and graduated Summa cum Laude from the prestigious Art Center College of Design where she was mentored by pioneer California modernist Lorser Feitelson. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad, including MRG Fine Art, in Los Angeles; Gallerie Rohling, Berlin, Germany; California State University Channel Islands in Ventura; Karpeles Museum in Santa Barbara, California; BG Gallery in Santa Monica; George Lawson...
