Lynn Small is an art honors graduate of The High School of Music and Art, NYC - the first school in the nation [1936] to provide a free, publicly funded program for students gifted in the arts. It has been replicated in most major cities and has earned an international reputation for excellence. As a Dean's List student at New York University, majoring in painting with a minor in film theory, she studied with such renowned painters of the second generation Abstract Expressionist school as Milton Resnick, Esteban Vicente, Hale Woodruff, John Opper, and Robert Kaupelis, as well as the legendary art historian, Irving Sandler and film critic and theorist, Andrew Sarris and John Gassner respectively.
In
the early 1970s, while living and working in Spain, Lynn began work on the
Earth Stains Series and had a solo exhibition at the USIA Cultural
Center in Madrid. This has been an ongoing body of work that has evolved into
many sub-series and the collaborative Earth Series, as well as the multimedia
installation projects - Earth Elegies. In the mid 1970s, she began
a series of anthropological, God-like imagery while her artist husband, Dennis
Paul and she lived in Cuernavaca, Mexico. This major body of work would later
inspire the current Southwest Spirit Guides Series.
Shortly thereafter, she received the prestigious Yaddo Residency Fellowship
in painting where a collaboration began with her husband, Dennis Paul of layering
the photographic and painterly into a seamless fusion of nude, landscape and
Kabbalah imagery that now includes the digital realm of photography, video
and SoundScapes that accompany their multimedia, site-specific installations
in collaborations with other visual and performing artists, musicians, and
writers.
The Earth Stains paintings and works on paper have evolved into the
series - Golden Light and Shimmering Light - part of the individual
and collaborative California Coastal UpLift project and in the
fall of 2003 while again the receipient of a Yaddo Residency Fellowship, the
series Autumn Light began. Also in 2003, the artist was a finalist
for the Gottlieb Foundation Grant.
Ms.
Small has lived and exhibited in New York, Europe, Mexico, San Francisco,
and Los Angeles. Her work has been shown in numerous gallery and museum exhibitions.
She has lectured at the Museum of the City of Mexico, the Art Institute of
Chicago and the Brooks Institute of Photography, Santa Barbara, California
among others and has received various grants, awards and commissions. Lynn's
work is represented in public and private collections both in the United States
and abroad.
