Our Notes
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 a large-scale painting made for her most recent solo exhibition titled Rainbow Sky at Taymour Grahne Projects, London, ‘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 screen-printed 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. "I systematically transition from one colour to another in bands across the surface of the painting, to create an illusion of space and also to discover unexpected colours along the way.''

Colour is a central point of Lincoln's practice. Inspired by naïve painters such as Henri Rousseau, Lincoln painted fictitious botanical scenes for many years. More recently she has simplified her compositions, focusing on elements such as water, weather, sunlight, and clouds. Lincoln refrains from local colour or concrete form, instead manipulating the matter of this world to reflect or refract light and appear in a myriad of shades. Whilst Lincoln’s paintings appear spacious and simple, every inch of the surface is intricately considered and applied. We love how Lincoln constructs a space reminiscent of a stage set, in which dramas of an imagined natural world play out for our contemplation. Lincoln’s work has been the subject of national and international solo and group exhibitions. Lincoln has been awarded residencies at the Wave Hill Winter Workspace program, the Inside Out Art Museum Residency in Beijing, and a Swing Space residency from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
What is a limited edition?
So you’ve found your perfect limited edition artwork, but what does this actually mean? Limited editions are original artworks that an artist creates in a particular print medium, such as a giclée print, screen print or photograph. Our limited edition artworks are specifically created by our talented artists with a maximum edition number in mind. The term ‘limited edition’ refers to the total number of artworks that are available for that particular piece. The edition size can vary widely between artworks, however most of the time our artists create editions in small numbers ranging from 10 to a few hundred.
What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
