Lynch challenges the traditional notion of landscape painting by approaching each work with a digitally informed, collage-like approach. By playing with opposing visual and tactile qualities, Lynch creates a layered and nuanced canvas that plays with the sculptural qualities of paint. The artist looks to climate change and the inherent destruction of our natural environment to depict forest scenes and seascapes, each informed by research expeditions, lived experience, and his fascination with Weird fiction and Eco fiction.

In anticipation of Steven Nederveen's new solo exhibition The Invisible Pull, the artist sits down with us and reflects on the inclusion of human presence in his latest imagery, the influence of surfing and meditation as practices of waiting and attunement, and his ongoing practice of combining photography and painting as a means of balancing observation, intuition, and experience.
