Our Notes
Amy Lincoln makes imaginative and intensely hued paintings of the natural world, in which uniform clouds loom over star-spangled skies, waves lap in strict formation across the ocean, and suns radiate palpable rays of vivid colour.
Inspired by a large-scale painting made for her most recent solo exhibition titled Rainbow Sky at Taymour Grahne Projects, London, ‘Rainbow with Rain Clouds’ depicts a shower of rain from zeppelin-shaped clouds and a rainbow in their most simplified forms.
As a widely recognised symbol of hope and optimism, the rainbow in this work acts as an alluring and widely accessible entry point into appreciating Lincoln’s masterful depiction of atmospheric space and colour. At first glance the composition can appear deceptively simple, however, and upon closer inspection we witness the artist’s meticulous arrangement of gradated colour planes, which carefully transition from one hue to another, composing a matrix of flat shades that create the illusion of depth and motion.
In this hybrid archival pigment print, the sense of depth and motion is further heightened by additional screen-printed layers and embossing. Rain drops twinkle in the light thanks a water-like high gloss varnish layer, falling from two predominant clouds foregrounded by subtle embossing, against the sheen of a semi-circular rainbow that arches across the entire composition. This build-up of layers echoes Lincoln’s intricate layering of colour in her original acrylic painting, and stage set effect of her idyllic invented worlds. "I systematically transition from one colour to another in bands across the surface of the painting, to create an illusion of space and also to discover unexpected colours along the way.''

Colour is a central point of Lincoln's practice. Inspired by naïve painters such as Henri Rousseau, Lincoln painted fictitious botanical scenes for many years. More recently she has simplified her compositions, focusing on elements such as water, weather, sunlight, and clouds. Lincoln refrains from local colour or concrete form, instead manipulating the matter of this world to reflect or refract light and appear in a myriad of shades. Whilst Lincoln’s paintings appear spacious and simple, every inch of the surface is intricately considered and applied. We love how Lincoln constructs a space reminiscent of a stage set, in which dramas of an imagined natural world play out for our contemplation. Lincoln’s work has been the subject of national and international solo and group exhibitions. Lincoln has been awarded residencies at the Wave Hill Winter Workspace program, the Inside Out Art Museum Residency in Beijing, and a Swing Space residency from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
