Hynes’s color field paintings are created with multiple layers of pigmented plaster to form a unique surface and feeling of depth. Transformed by the changing light of day, the paintings are both an evocative and a meditative exploration in color and shape.

Hynes painting philosophy is grounded in the Washington DC color field school where color, shape, and form have a spiritual meaning. He also draws from the abstract expressionist action painters who adopted the Zen approach of meditating on the surface before painting with color, energy, and gesture.

Although Hynes is mainly known for his narrative Assemblages, painting with pigmented plaster is an important element of this work. His Assemblages are included in the 2016 publication, The Art of Found Objects”: Interviews with Texas Artists by Robert Craig Bunch as well as other publications.

Link & Pin is now open by appointment on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. These visits will offer our patrons a safe and comfortable way to enjoy art. Your scheduled visit will be for you, your spouse or partner or family group. No one else will be invited into the gallery during your time.
