December Sun / acrylic painting

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.
