About the Item

Minimalist Mixed Media Botanical Study Painting Botanical "Branch #1" This mixed media painting by Derek James Lynch (American, b. 1959, 2003 presents a botanical study rendered in a minimalist, almost archaeological aesthetic. The vertical composition features a single tall branch of densely clustered, dark leaves painted in fine, tonal detail. The plant’s silhouette stands out in stark contrast against a textured, weathered ground of pale lavender-gray and dusty white, evoking the patina of time-worn plaster or fresco. Lynch’s treatment of surface — with its intentional abrasions, scratches, and uneven coloration — suggests both age and fragility, as if the image has been unearthed or preserved from antiquity. The effect is contemplative, evoking memory and impermanence, while the delicate draftsmanship of the plant form reveals a quiet reverence for nature. The work feels at once botanical, archival, and poetic — a visual artifact that bridges scientific observation with ephemeral beauty. Medium: Mixed media (Acrylic on canvas with leaves) Signature: On verso, Auction and gallery label Created: 2003 Condition: Excellent Presented unframed Canvas/Image size: 49"H x 24"W x 1.5"D Derek James Lynch was born in Englewood, New Jersey and currently works and lives in San Francisco. Lynch graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in the early 1980s, studying alongside artists such as Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf. He was mentored by notable artists including Frank Owen, John Seery, and Sandro Chia. He is a San Francisco-based visual artist known for his evocative mixed media works that blend painting, digital photography, and architectural forms. His art often explores the intersection of natural and urban elements, creating compositions that are both familiar and dreamlike. In the late 90s he began experimenting by incorporating plant matter into his work. He developed a unique process combining foliage, many layers of acrylic medium, with drawing and surface scratching. The subject matter and technique were the basis of his work for well over a decade.

Mid Century French Abstract Tree Expressionist Ink Wash Painting

Mid Century French Abstract Tree Expressionist Ink Wash Painting

Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire

Title: Mid Century French Abstract Tree Expressionist Ink Wash Painting Medium: Black ink and wash on paper, unframed French, circa 1950's Size: 25.75 inches x 19.75 (height x width) Condition: The work is structurally sound though with visible creasing, surface rippling and age related toning throughout the sheet. There is light edge wear and handling marks consistent with storage. The ink and wash remain stable. This would benefit from professional flattening and framing. Provenance: from a large collection in Paris Description: A striking mid-century French abstract expressionist ink painting on paper, executed in bold black gestural marks with a strong sense of movement and rhythm. The composition reads as a lively field of calligraphic brushwork, with sweeping strokes, broken textures, and clustered forms that suggest foliage, energy, or a landscape fragment without becoming literal. The confident use of black against the raw paper creates a dramatic, graphic impact, making this an ideal piece for modern interiors, particularly for collectors drawn to monochrome abstraction, post-war European modernism, and expressive works on paper. In this particularly elegant example, the composition resolves clearly into a stylised tree form. A strong central trunk rises vertically from the lower edge, branching outward into sweeping limbs that extend across the upper half of the sheet. The addition of grey wash introduces tonal variation and a subtle sense of depth, softening certain areas while reinforcing the organic structure of the branches. The upward movement of the limbs creates a sense of growth and vitality, while the spareness of the background allows the form to stand boldly against the natural tone of the paper. The work captures the essence of a winter tree or windswept branches through expressive, economical brushwork, aligning closely with the spirit of post-war French Art Informel and modernist landscape abstraction. This fabulous mid century original French expressionist abstract tree painting...
