Je partage ce soir un coup de cœur pour le travail de l’artiste New Yorkaise KARYN LYONS, avec laquelle j’échange depuis 2021. stems_gallery la présente en ce moment à Paris.
Karyn Lyons paints intimate moments of adolescence in rich hues and expressionistic brushstrokes. Lyons often depicts feminine sitters in moments of repose. She portrays her female subjects gazing longingly at album covers, posing with ci******es, and waiting by the telephone, capturing enigmatic teenage moments that have been both bitter and sweet.
Karyn Lyons received a B.A. in Journalism from the American University in Washington, D.C. and did her post-graduate work at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA. She has exhibited in solo exhibitions with The Journal Inc., New York, NY and TURN Gallery, New York, NY. Recent group exhibitions include Malborough Gallery, London, UK; Galerie Hussenot, Paris, FR; Ojos De Perro Azul, Marinaro, New York, NY; Carl Kostyál, Milan, IT; TURN Gallery, New York, NY; Sim Smith, London, UK; Stems Gallery, Brussels, BE; Spazio Amanita, Los Angeles, CA; Friends Indeed Gallery, San Francisco, CA; The Journal, East Hampton, NY; Fredericks & Freiser, New York, NY; Galleria Annarumma, Napoli, IT; TURN Gallery, New York, NY; among others.
Karyn Lyons will have her first European solo show with Stems Gallery, in April
