B Lynch art studio

B Lynch mixed media and installation artist:

Storytelling how society works through art, B. Lynch embellishes, makes fun of, and wonders at the societal friction in our new gilded age of income disparity. She has had solo shows at many universities and museums. Recently she has featured her ongoing Red and Grey solo project outings at College of the Holy Cross: New Gilded Age through February 5, 2021; Phillips Exeter NH summer ’19; at Framingham State University of Massachusetts fall ‘18; and upcoming at Brattleboro Art Museum in 2021. Her videos have been screened across the country and in Germany and was featured in the group exhibition Storied References, Northern Illinois University Art museum in winter 2021.

She is a recipient of several awards, including the President’s Fund for Faculty Excellence Award Simmons University in Boston where she formerly directed the Trustman Art Gallery; a Fellow award from the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts; an Artist’s Resource Trust Award — Berkshire Taconic Foundation and a Project Grant from the Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation, Shelter Island NY. The Massachusetts Cultural Council Artsake blog published for their Three Stages series the New Gilded Age. https://artsake.massculturalcouncil.org/three-stages-b-lynch/

Projects sprawl over several media, the content is the glue. For the on-going Red and Grey project the simple materials of paper, wire, and paint underpin the objects. The two dimensional works are portraits of the characters. Video and sound animate the drawings and objects.

Lynch lives and works in Jamaica Plain, a neighborhood of Boston, in a handmade house/studio with a garden of fruits, vegetables and flowers. More information at her website: https://blynchart.com
