Sylvio Lynch III is a Richmond, VA (USA) based visual artist who primarily uses technical approaches in drawing to explore hyperrealism and abstraction. Precision in exploration of images has been at the core of his work, regardless of craft, regardless of scale, regardless of collaboration.
His representational works are documents of overlooked spaces, objects, and in-between observations.
Lynch’s abstract works are drawn documents of emotional relationships over time, abstracted from identification or direct representational language. They are movements with boundaries of repetition in line and form.
Inspired by hyperrealist painters and the craft of architectural drafting in equal parts, from graphite and charcoal to watercolor or colored pencil, Lynch’s compositions are expressions of control and emotion. His influences also stem from academic study of architectural history, and midcentury American illustration. From corporate collaborations to small business, to public art, Lynch’s works reveal a sense of place, snapshots of moments, or movements in form.
