About
Brendan Lynch’s “A Walk” presents a body of work that spans size, style, and time. The paintings are presented on the floor and joined edge to edge, holding each other accountable in creating a newfound landscape. Each piece, created without awareness of the others, surrenders to the new scenery, allowing the works to claim a sense of belonging while affirming their individuality.
In addition to his own work, Lynch invited forty artists from various backgrounds to contribute paintings that hide in plain sight amongst his own, from Ariana Papademetropoulos who has recently shown with Vito Schnabel and Jeffrey Deitch, New York based artist Eric Foss, Los Angeles based Mario Ayala, London’s Faye Wei Wei, to the artist’s own brother and father. A Walk will total 270 artworks in its entirety, presented throughout the entire ground floor at OMNI.
A smaller space within the gallery is occupied by Lynch’s “Bob”; a monochromatic pastiche containing 89 distinct works, each presenting a point of interest to the artist at a particular moment in time. These individual works have been gradually covered in paint and by each other, removing their status as individuals and becoming unified as a collective. This process allows them to exist and disappear in time, while gaining freedom from their discreet narratives.
Lynch is known for his involvement with The Still House Group, an artist-run organization based in Brooklyn, New York, with locations in Red Hook, Chinatown, and the South Bronx
