Bill Lynch: The Exile of Dionysus
Brighton CCA


This small exhibition of works by the American artist Bill Lynch at Brighton CCA is the first time Lynch’s work has been shown in a UK institution. Although it contains just 15 paintings, it nonetheless gives a sense of what this enigmatic artist achieved in his lifetime. Born in Albuquerque in 1960, he trained at Cooper Union School of Art in New York’s East Village and when he died in 2013, aged 53, his work had never been exhibited. It is only thanks to his friend and fellow-student Verne Dawson, who was a year ahead of Lynch at art school, that the work came to light at all.
