Chatham-Kent artist Myles Lynch’s new exhibition, Cryptic Landscapes, is being presented at ARTspace starting Wednesday, July 17, 2024. All are invited to an opening reception at ARTspace on Friday, July 19, 2024, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. Light refreshments were provided.
Myles Jackson Lynch is an emerging Lŭnaapèew artist from Eelŭnaapéewi.
Lahkéewiit, also known as the Delaware Nation. Lynch received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Western University in London, Ontario. He grew up with an equal appreciation for nature and academia, finding inspiration in stillness. Though the materials Lynch creates his art with are ever-changing, his body of work remains focused on Existentialism – the idea that we are each responsible for creating meaning in our own lives.
Lynch describes Cryptic Landscapes as an exploration of texture using paper pulp and water to recreate landscapes from his dreams. Lynch's series studies the beauty of being extremely small in infinite space—that sudden self-awareness we feel when looking at the stars.
This exhibition is curated by Chatham-Kent and ARTspace artist Danielle Coleman.
Cryptic Landscapes is on display at ARTspace at 165 1/2 King Street West, Chatham, ON, from Wednesday, July 17 to Saturday, September 14. ARTspace is open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 12-5pm. Admission is free, and donations are welcome.
