For over 50 years, self taught artist Edwin Lynch has explored sculpture.
Born in 1938, Lynch was a child of WW2 and the Midwest town he grew up in right outside of Pittsburg, PA. In 1950, at the age of 12, Lynch tackled his first sculpture project, turning and carving a baseball bat in shop class out of a wood blank. It was this experience that led to his belief that one day he would become a sculptor. Fast forward to the 1970s and Lynch begins to create small carvings of animals, cars, and heads that seem grounded in folk art, particularly small Inuit carvings. As he gains more confidence, he begins to develop a style reminiscent of WPA art created in the 1930s and 40’s. Folk Art blends with Art Deco, and finally, in his later work as he begins making bronze castings, Neoclassicism. But all the work carries the spirit and vision and creative magic that is his own. Over 40 works will be included in the exhibition. Lynch states, “What I have wanted to do always, was to make beautiful things with my hands. My attempt at art, my sculpture, is driven by a simple idea, to bring a love of craft to life, to be more fully in touch with those around me.”
His recent work, “Working Woman” (above), “Woman and Dog” and “Boxer” address contemporary issues around gender and culture.
Lynch lives in Holyoke, MA, and has exhibited his work widely in New York and New England. He served in the Naval Reserve, has an MFA from New York University, and worked for 25 years in film and television as a producer, director and cinematographer. His thesis film is in the collection at MOMA, and he worked on Oscar winning films “Woodstock” and “Hearts and Minds”. For more information please contact Dean Brown at Pulp.
Billy Evans was born in Massachusetts and he earned his BFA in Painting at Massachusetts College of Art where he studied painting and sculpture. He currently lives and works in Cape Ann, MA. He relocated from Carmel, CA several years ago, where he had his own gallery for thirteen years.
Evans’ paintings can be found in hundreds of private collections all over the world. His work has been collected by many public institutions including; the Denver Art Museum, the Rose Art Museum, the Heckscher Art Museum, and the Mississippi Museum of Art. His works on paper (www.evansgallery.org) executed in vibrant colors, continue his exploration of shape and form, and are derived from everyday life and the world around him, from which he finds continuous inspiration.
“ I hope you will accept that I wish not to speak specifically about my paintings, my intentions, or what you might hope to see in my work. The paintings stand on their own and speak for themselves.
I will say something more generally that I hope is not too obvious. Painting is a visual medium first and foremost. It is a language with its own peculiarities. I would ask that you look at paintings with an open mind and attempt to engage any work before you. There can just as easily be a failure of the artist to make something compelling as there is the failure of a viewer to dismiss and not seriously engage the artist’s work. I say this with the hope that your experience with the visual arts can be as rich and rewarding as possible. “
