Lynn Charles Foster

I have been creating art for more than 60 years. I make drawings, paintings in acrylics and plastic assemblage sculptures from found objects. I have been in over 250 shows and now share my art on the Internet. My focus these days is mostly drawing. "My work explores abstract expressionist drawing, using vibrant ink lines to create deconstructed portraits and figurative abstractions. Each piece is a dynamic interplay of gestural mark-making and color, where faces emerge from a continuous flow of spontaneous lines, reminiscent of a visual stream of consciousness."
