new in the gallery: photo-based works by christine flynn

We are pleased to have received a selection of photographic works by Christine Flynn. We will be featuring the latest editions of some of our past & new favourites, throughout the month of June. 

Christine Flynn blends photography with abstract elements of design--coats of paint and gold leaf are layered on top of an image--to create a photograph with the texture of a painting. Shadowboxed in oak frames, the work is simultaneously contemporary and nostalgic.

By using mixed media techniques, Flynn creates images that are impossible to replicate. The goal of Flynn's work isn't to present a realistic portrayal of what a place looks like, but instead a utopian ideal of what a destination feels like; a kinetic image of a dreamlike setting that exists only in our imaginations.
