FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lynn Geesaman

May 19, 2006 - June 30, 2006
Reception for the artist: Thursday May 18, 2006, 6PM to 8PM

Yancey Richardson Gallery is pleased to present Lynn Geesaman. An exhibition of large-scale color photographs of landscapes taken throughout France, Belgium, England and the United States. This will be Geesamans fifth exhibition with the gallery.

In this selection of recent work, Geesaman continues to explore the intersection of nature and artifice in the cultivated landscape. Although no figures appear, human intervention is continually referenced by alleys of trees, whimsically shaped topiaries or the perfectly trimmed hedge. Combining masses or repeating forms, delicate detail and luminous color, Geesaman creates a mesmerizing tension between the orderly structure of these idealized settings and the hallucinatory quality of their light and color.

Geesaman was born in Cleveland, Ohio and graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in
physics. Her work is represented in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum, The Art Institute
of Chicago, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris. There
are two monographs published on the work of Lynn Geesaman, Poetics of Place, 1998 and
Gardenscapes, 2004.
