We are pleased to present WAVES, a solo exhibition of photo-based works by Christine Flynn. A Core Exhibition of the 2023 Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival. Join us for a reception on Friday May 5th from 7-9PM. Exhibition continues until May 27th.
From its raw power to its gentle ebbs and flows, the wave holds a certain allure that calls to something deep within the human soul. In her upcoming solo show, WAVES, Canadian artist Christine Flynn immortalizes the ever-fleeting beauty of waves from across the globe, with each large-scale artwork exemplifying the artist’s signature mixed-media approach and conveying a familiar subject through her unique lens.
Over the course of her career, the Prince Edward County-based artist has reimagined traditional photography, heightening her striking prints with unique hand-applied treatments, creating one-of-a-kind artworks. Flynn overlays stunning landscapes with abstract embellishments of paint and metallic foil, giving her work a sense of character that is simultaneously personal and universal, inviting viewers into a world of beauty and wonder both distant and familiar.
In her most recent show, Flynn transports viewers on her global odyssey of documenting the ephemeral allure of her subject, her images revealing waves chased around the world. The images take viewers from the dramatic cliffs of Portugal to the rugged coastlines of Scotland, from the rolling waves of Big Sur, and the breathtaking shores of South Africa. This new series marries the movements of the oceans' tides with Flynn’s contemporary aesthetic. Each piece exists at the intersection of art and nature, showcasing her mastery for enhancing and celebrating the power of the sea's most elusive wonders.
Christine Flynn is a Canadian photographer and mixed media artist who lives and works in Prince Edward County. Christine Flynn received her BFA from Houghton College (NY) in 1994. Flynn has exhibited extensively at art fairs in New York, Miami, London, Paris, Brussels, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Hamburg & more.
