Amy Lincoln makes imaginative and intensely hued paintings of the natural world; in which uniform clouds loom over star-spangled skies, waves lap in strict formation across the ocean, and suns radiate palpable rays of vivid colour.
Inspired by one of her large-scale paintings, ‘Rainbow with Rain Clouds’ depicts a shower of rain from zeppelin-shaped clouds and a rainbow in their most simplified forms. As a widely recognised symbol of hope and optimism, the rainbow in this work acts as an alluring and widely accessible entry point into appreciating Lincoln’s masterful depiction of atmospheric space and colour.
At first glance the composition can appear deceptively simple, however, and upon closer inspection we witness the artist’s meticulous arrangement of gradated colour planes, which carefully transition from one hue to another, composing a matrix of flat shades that create the illusion of depth and motion.
In this hybrid archival pigment print, the sense of depth and motion is further heightened by additional screenprinted layers and embossing. Rain drops twinkle in the light thanks a water-like high gloss varnish layer, falling from two predominant clouds foregrounded by subtle embossing, against the sheen of a semi-circular rainbow that arches across the entire composition. This build-up of layers echoes Lincoln’s intricate layering of colour in her original acrylic painting, and stage set effect of her idyllic invented worlds.
