Bio

Lynsey is a painter working mainly in the traditional medium of oil on linen. She holds a Doctor of Fine Art from the National Art School in Sydney (2022). McGee has exhibited in group and solo shows in Berlin, Shanghai and Sydney.

I am interested in perception and my work hinges on the idea that paintings require a temporality of engagement which contrasts with the fleeting, screen-based images that dominate much of our daily experience. Working mainly in landscapes I explore atmospheric conditions, and the ambiguities of vision that cannot be translated through simple iPhone snapshots.
