Taymour Grahne Projects invites everyone to explore Monochromes, a captivating solo exhibition by American artist Amy Lincoln. The show brings together a selection of her recent works created from late 2024 through mid-2025, showcasing her evolving artistic language and disciplined use of colour. The exhibition will be open to the public until 12 January 2026.
In Monochromes, Lincoln distils her deeply felt observations of nature into compositions defined by vibrant, rhythmic gradients and simplified forms. The artworks pivot between minimalist restraint and immersive sensation, inviting viewers into landscapes, seascapes, and skies that feel at once familiar and otherworldly. Across panels and canvases, repetitive elements, such as waves, grass, clouds, rainbows, and trees, are rendered through subtle shifts of tone and hue. This approach creates visual harmony and dynamic depth.
The exhibition’s title reflects Lincoln’s refined focus on colour modulation. Hues become expressive tools in themselves and generate atmospheres that both calm and energise. Pieces such as “Sun with Trees (Yellow Monochrome)” and “Trees with Dark Sun (Magenta, Green & Blue)” exemplify the artist’s ability to evoke natural phenomena while pushing the boundaries of representational painting into a more meditative, abstract space.
About the artist
Amy Lincoln (b. 1981, Bloomington, IN, USA), a painter residing in New York, holds an MFA from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and a BA from the University of California, Davis (USA). She grew up spending time in Oregon, where frequent visits to overcast beaches helped shape her lifelong fascination with light, atmosphere, and colour.
Lincoln’s paintings are characterised by intense hues, rhythmic compositions, and dream-like qualities. They blend landscape, still life, and atmospheric phenomena into a cohesive visual language that blurs representation and abstraction. Her work often features simplified yet evocative elements of the natural world, which she refines into rhythmic patterns and meticulous colour gradients. These elements, rendered in bold, sometimes unexpected palettes, give her canvases a palpable sense of light and space that feels both serene and otherworldly.
Lincoln’s creations have been featured in numerous exhibitions, which include Transcendence (JDJ Gallery, New York, NY, 2023); Rainbow Sky (solo) (Taymour Grahne Projects, London, UK, 2022); American Women: The Infinite Journey (Galerie Valerie Bach, Brussels, Belgium, 2020); and Humorless Objects (Zaim Exhibition Space, Yokohama, Japan, 2008), to name a few.
Her artworks are part of public collections, such as the Columbus Museum of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Lincoln has also been awarded prestigious artist residencies, including at Wave Hill Winter Workspace, the Inside Out Art Museum Residency in Beijing (China), and a Swing Space residency from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
