As an artist Brenda Flynn has been inspired to create works of art that explore the relationship between space and time and the human form.
Time can be measured by the rhythm of a piece of music, or by an event or occasion, or by a lifetime. This has led her to question how we perceive a moment in time. Using the human form, Flynn is looking at what goes on beneath the surface, bringing into dialogue a connection between artist, model, and viewer. Abstracting the body of work allows her to divide the image into two spatial concerns.
Flynn’s work is loosely based on classical painting and drawing techniques. At the same time she is drawn to the aesthetic characteristics of graffiti for the purpose of communicating a message to the viewer. Flynn believes in a sense of play in her mark-making, therefore she has been experimenting with the juxtaposition of elements and aggressive mark-making with crisp detail. She also looks for a balanced interaction of form and content, one that includes a process of artistic symbolism representing time and human interaction. Flynn’s new found subject and theme have become a signature element in her work, one that she plans to express and explore further.
