How do you describe your art practice today?

Lynn Lobo is a painter working primarily in oil paint and gouache. She is a keen watcher of nature, painting mostly from direct observation within the genres of landscape and still life. Ultimately, her real subject matter is light and colour patterns.

What fascinates you about your choice of medium?

Ideas emerge through a deeply felt, meditative gaze. They are drawn in pencil and coalesce through gouache studies. These studies are the foundation for oil paintings. Lynn loves the slow drying nature of oil paint and how it enables colours to be richly layered to create subtlety and depth. The blending of edges and the ‘meaty’ pull of paint creates ambiguity and prolongs the discovery of the image. Wet paint is scraped back, and the image is found anew. Lynn is a lover of mystery and oil paint is a doorway to a sensuous experience.

What inspires you most and why?

Lynn studies light. The incidental moments that we marginalise in our daily lives provide the starting point. She feels into the way light moves through air and observes the way colour shifts through space. Much beauty lies in what we may think of as mundane.
