'Cosmos' is exhibiting now at TAG Art Gallery in Hobart.

Chromatic strata that dissolve into pure field — cobalt and viridian held in luminous tension, the surface receding and advancing simultaneously. Colour as atmosphere. Presence as experience.

New work now exhibiting at TAG Art Gallery, Hobart.

'Elemental' No.4 by Gemma Lynch-Memory.

Thousands of horizontal paint lines, each laid by hand with a palette knife, build a surface of compressed intensity in cadmium, alizarin and cool pewter grey. Impasto ridges that shift with the light.

Landscape not as subject but as felt temperature. Stand in front of it and something ancient moves through you.

Oil and Mixed Media on Canvas. 120cm x 150cm.

'Zenith' — Gemma Lynch-Memory.

Lynch-Memory's practice is built on accumulation. Horizontal marks layered with relentless discipline across months, each one modifying what precedes it. The result is a surface that refuses easy reading — colour fields that shift between heat and shadow, between the specific and the atmospheric.

This is painting concerned with how landscape is experienced, not how it appears. The phenomenological over the pictorial. Thirty years of practice distilled into a single, resolved work.

'Synergy' Industrial Series
Gemma Lynch-Memory

Exhibiting Now

17/12/2025

Where turquoise meets rust, where time writes its story across weathered surfaces.

'Synergy' No.39 from Gemma Lynch-Memory's Industrial Series captures the poetry of urban decay through thick impasto and sustained observation. Each horizontal division suggests different states of being coexisting within a single frame—the particular quality of light on corroded metal, the marks that endurance leaves behind.

These aren't representations of specific places but distillations of industrial atmosphere, finding beauty in surfaces that celebrate rather than conceal the passage of time.

'Synergy' No.41 by Gemma Lynch-Memory

Weathered turquoise and silvered blues meet in this meditation on time and endurance. Lynch-Memory's new Industrial Series transforms worn urban surfaces into contemplations on the beauty of lived experience.

The thick impasto creates layered strata where oxidised tones fade into pale blues - surfaces that celebrate rather than conceal the marks that time writes across us.

The Psychology of Big Blue

Art collectors often tell us they've been searching for "the right piece" for years. Then they walk into the gallery, see it, and know instantly.

Gemma Lynch-Memory's 'Big Blue' is one of those pieces. At 150cm x 360cm, this triptych commands attention, but it's the thousands of individual marks, each a deliberate moment of the artist's attention, that hold you there.

The three-panel format isn't arbitrary. Your eyes scan across water the same way: searching, resting, moving on. The painting mirrors how we naturally experience the coast.

After 30 years of practice, Gemma has moved beyond depicting what the ocean looks like to exploring how it feels to stand before it. That shift, from representation to sensation, defines her current work.
