Contemporary painter | Artist Steven Lynch | Art Gallery

These "surreal" works is influenced by both surrealism and pop art. Painting everyday objects in a surreal style. The things we see everyday become so familiar we almost don't see them anymore. By making them art we are forced to notice them and acknowledge the everyday items that shape our lives. Steven Lynch presents them to us in super realist exaggeration that echoes the work of surrealist like Rene Magritte. But yet the items are mundane and hold nothing more than they are. These oil paintings by Steven Lynch make a true statement about our everyday life.

You can clearly see Andy Warhol's influences on the subject matter, but the painting style and surreal nature of the images is closer to Rene Magritte

Taking everyday beach scenes these new works show an influence of Jack Vettriano in the composition, yet have a modern contemporary pop art feel to them.
