Overview

The Approach is delighted to present I am a Bird from Heaven's Garden, a new solo exhibition by late American painter Bill Lynch (b. 1960, Albuquerque, NM; d. 2013, Raleigh, NC). Inspired from his frequent visits to the New York Metropolitan Museum combined with his love of the natural environment, Lynch depicted an array of scenes in his works: an array of birds, animals, blossoming trees, waterfalls, porcelain, statuettes and landscapes. Painting onto salvaged plywood, a process distinctive to the artist, his free-flowing brushstrokes betray his investment in Chinese and Japanese painting but also evoke his American roots. The main gallery will focus on Lynch's paintings, whilst a selection of drawings will be presented in The Annexe.
