All is Folly
Paintings by B. Lynch

The Trustman Art Gallery at Simmons College is pleased to present "All is Folly," the recent paintings of B. Lynch, who has exhibited widely in the United States and Germany.

B. Lynch's life-long love affair with the theater and her passion for Italian Gothic painting inspired these pictorial dramas with the Goddess Folly as their protagonist. "As a symbol for the Janus-faced nature of man. B. Lynch has created the metaphorical figure of the Goddess Folly, who together with her retinue of saints and transgressors presents all facets of mankind, including those which we do not like to face," said Lynch. This exhibit presents B. Lynch's quest for beauty through narrative paintings infused with jewel-like color. "These images, both traditional in technique and appearance, are paradoxically vitally relevant to life in the 1990s," according to Bob Oppenheim, director of the Trustman Art Gallery.
