Art On Barcelona’s new exhibit, Road Trip, features a collection of impressionistic plein air paintings and expressive abstractions by UU Santa Fe member and artist Lisa Flynn.
Lisa Flynn: Road Trip
... impressions, expressions and abstractions featuring a collection of paintings from en plein air to studio abstracts influenced literally and metaphorically by “the road”
Road trips can mirror life’s journey …. sometimes straightforward, easy breezy and scenic along with inevitable bumps, twists and turns and dangerous curves, not to mention checkpoints, detours, dead ends and closures that make us into who we are.
The work in this show encompasses a variety of impressions and expressions ranging from “on location” plein air paintings across New Mexico including Route 66 to studio works inspired by previous road trips like Marfa, Texas, to abstractions informed by countless road warrior hours spent on the roads of New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Colorado and Utah.
“I have been creating art for as long as I can remember and am grateful to be a working artist here in Santa Fe. I pursued fine arts at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from the University of New Mexico. I also studied printmaking at the Art Students League in NYC. I am an award-winning member of the Plein Air Painters of New Mexico and enjoy working in a variety of mediums and styles.
