Kathryn Lynch. Pink Clouds (2025)
Huxley-Parlour are pleased to present Weather, a new body of work by American artist Kathryn Lynch (b. 1961). This suite of works was developed following her move from Brooklyn to upstate New York, and marks a shift from the urban landscape towards a sustained engagement with the natural world. The works, painted between 2024 and 2025, maintain her long-standing interest in perception, atmospheric flux, and the passage of time.
Lynch’s paintings examine the structure of place through acts of prolonged observation. Her approach draws on distinct traditions of American landscape painting, linking the material restraint of Maine traditions with the contemplative atmospheres associated with the Transcendental Painting Group of the Western United States. Softly layered brushwork compresses atmosphere and surface allowing familiar forms to slip into spatial fields shaped by tonal contrast. Lynch’s paintings resist fixed location, and rather than depicting sites, her work traces conditions – of light and distance – and move freely between recognition and dissolution.
Highlights
2
Kathryn Lynch. Two Men in a Boat (2025). Lynch approaches painting as an open-ended process, one that is gestative and accretive. Speaking about her work, the artist states ‘I rely heavily on instinct – my paintings are guttural’. The title Weather reflects this approach: weather functions here as a register of change, pressure, and duration – an external force that parallels the internal, arrhythmic states brought into the act of painting.
Kathryn Lynch. Sun Between Trees in Field of Wild Flowers (2024). In these works, light operates as both a physical presence and perceptual guide. The paintings resist narrative, operating instead through memory, perception and temporality. The paintings propose landscape not as site, but as lived condition – one that remains experiential and shared.

Biography
Kathryn Lynch’s paintings examine the structure of place through acts of sustained looking. She abstracts telephone poles, roads and artificial light into unstable spatial fields that hover between recognition and dissolution. Softly layered brushwork compresses atmosphere and surface, allowing familiar forms to slip into indeterminate states. Lynch’s paintings resist fixed location, and rather than depicting sites her work registers conditions – of light, distance, and perception – where meaning remains provisional and unresolved.
Kathryn Lynch (b. 1961), received her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 1990. She has participated in several residency programmes including, the Colstoun House Residency (2025), the Edward Albee Foundation Residency, the Skowhegan Alumni Residency (2021), Foundation Valparaiso Residency (2018), and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation (1995). She was awarded the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow in Painting in 2018 and received the 1989 Fellowship Award from the Vermont Studio Center through the University of Pennsylvania. Lynch’s work has been exhibited globally in over 20 solo shows and upwards of 30 group exhibitions, including the Center for Maine Contemporary Art’s 2025 Biennial, with presentations in cities such as New York, St. Petersburg, Boston, Los Angeles, and Miami. Her work can be found in a number of collections, such as Fort Wayne Museum of Art (IN, USA), University of California Berkeley Art Museum (CA, USA), Millenium Art Collection (NY, USA), Wellington Art Collection (UK), and Microsoft (WA, USA). Lynch lives and works in Catskill, New York.
