Lynne Flemons

These works were inspired by the view from my new studio at M16. I spent my first months there drawing and painting what I could see out the window. It was autumn. There is Blaxland Park and beyond sections of buildings, a bus stop, trees turning colour. 

I took fragments of this view to make these paintings all the while thinking about the park and how the buildings and gardens interact in the space before me. Composing by simplifying shapes and colours is my main focus in the language of art.

Lynne Flemons’ work is held in private, national and international collections including the National Gallery of Australia. In 2015, she completed her Master of Philosophy (Visual Arts) at the Australian National University, Canberra.

In  the following year, Lynne was selected as a visiting fellow at The Ballinglen Foundation, County Mayo, Ireland and then at Serlachius Museum, Finland.

Over the past 20 years, Lynne has been chosen for international and national residency programs. She has been selected as a finalist in significant art prizes including the Calleen Art Award and more recently the Drawing Art Prize at M16 Artspace, Canberra.  Lynne regularly presents her work in solo and group exhibitions. In 2021, Lynne participated in a small group  show Locale shown at M16 Artspace.
