Brief Encounters is part of an ongoing body of work concerning the cycles of life. In Brief Encounters , Lynn Christine Kelly expands her investigation of the intimate cycles within a family, of life, death, migration, and relocation in conjunction with the biological concepts of growth, decay, regrowth and rebirth.
Her ongoing interest in the temporality of geological and constructed forms merges with the concept of human existence and our interaction with the rest of the natural environment. Looking at the transience of life and the state of the planet, the work lacks an overtly human presence.
The scenes possess a duality of possibility; either something has happened or it is about to happen. Multifaceted, her work involves painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, has work in Canadian corporate collections as well as private collections worldwide, and has received grants from the Ontario Arts Council. Kelly currently lives and works in Toronto and is a member of the Red Head Gallery. View fullsize. Friends Of The Gallery.
