About the Item
Lynette Cook’s shadow-centric urban scenes — executed using exceptional concentration, patience, and skill — pay homage and provide clues to the individual lives of those who inhabit San Francisco and it's neighboring communities. Yet the life-like acrylic paintings — capturing light as it dramatically moves across this environment with its utility poles, balconies, stairs, and laundry hanging out to dry — also represent that which is universal in human experience and connects people on a basic level. Here the commonplace is celebrated and rises to the extraordinary.
This important series was exhibited at California’s Morris Graves Museum in May of 2016. In the same year the artist was awarded a prestigious Pollock Krasner Foundation honorary grant.

Lynette Cook
Lynette Cook realistically depicts scenes that she sees during her morning walks through the city, yet her paintings tend to reveal more than what initially meets the eye. Cook's important architectural series, Shadows and Silhouettes was exhibited at California’s Morris Graves Museum of Art in 2016. This series focuses on the exterior facades of urban dwellings that are both architecturally complex and mundane. In the same year, the artist was awarded a prestigious Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner Foundation honorary grant. Her work has been exhibited at the Peninsula Museum of Art in California in early 2020.
