About the Artist:
James Lynch was born in 1956 and has been painting professionally for thirty years. From his first sell-out exhibition in the 1980s he went on to win awards and prizes from the Royal Academy, the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation and the Spectator. His patrons include the National Trust, the Folio Society and many eminent private collectors. He exhibits regularly in London.
He became known in the 1980s for his paintings of monumental animals set in visionary landscapes, but his more recent work focuses on the English landscape and its different moods at times of day, seasonal light and dramatic weather.
James Lynch paints using the ancient medium of egg tempera. He mixes traditional gesso from raw ingredients and makes his paint according to Quattrocento recipes, using pure ground pigments, egg yolk and water. The paint is built up in thin layers and the surface hardens to become one of the most durable and lightfast there is, with a sheen which gives a translucent glow to the colours.
"One can hardly imagine a more laborious, slow-maturing process. It probably accounts for the extraordinary sense of balance Lynch achieves in his work as though he is placing us at the still centre of the moving world."
John Russell Taylor, The Times Art Critic
