Sue Lynn North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
  Back to profiles

Sue is a contemporary artist from Yorkshire and has been painting for over 30 years. Gaining a Diploma in Fine Art and Crafts at Leeds College of Art, then going on to complete a BA Honours Degree in Art and Design at Bradford College. Primarily Sue use oil paint, to draw out intangible moments from specific memories. Areas of impasto layering are striking feature of her work.

A personal life long ambition was realised when I first began to paint in my early 40s, reliving in paint reminiscences has been the main driving force within my studio practice, attempting to re-visit specific moments from the past in paint, until a compromise is reached between the remembered ‘moment’ and the painted image in front of me.

I’m not looking for literal translations, as I realise there is no precise formula for memory’s understanding, and the complexities of remembering can only be an individual experience, my own short term memory for instance has always been erratic, whilst my long term reminiscences can be vividly detailed.

Art practice for me is a exploration of reminiscence and the problematics that surround it.
