Artist's Statement: "I am revisiting a series of paintings I did back in 2015 (long since sold) that I really enjoyed creating. They exhibit echoes of Rauschenberg, Johns and Twombly during their playful period of the late 50's and early 60's, but they feel distinctive and personal to me rather than derivative. I have to really let loose and take some chances when making these, or they can quickly seem contrived."

"Lyman's work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings. The negative space is often meticulously worked out that it's almost as if the objects – usually simple shapes – are there as much to complement the background as vice versa. Despite the often bold colors there is an elegance about his paintings that prevents them from being loud or decorative. " Artbeit Zeitschrift See less
