Black Nostalgia w/ artist Jerry Lynn

Artist Jerry Lynn joins the Studio Noize fam to talk about his amazing work. We talk about Jerry’s beautiful southern nostalgia paintings filled with southern images like churches, baptism, and fields of cotton. We talk about the other influences of his work as his love for his children and reverence for Black historical figures. Jerry talks about painting light and gesture in his work, how he and his twin brother Terry got into their first gallery, and what he did to adjust to the new world after the pandemic. Jerry has a ton of experience as a working artist and we get to know him on this episode.

Jerry was born and raised in the suburbs of Memphis, Tennessee. He received early success and recognition with the collaborative art he created with his brother under the moniker “Twin”. His art is in the collections of celebrities, business leaders, and notable people such as Bob Johnson, Kem, Alonzo Morning, and Isaiah Thomas to name a few. His current practice involves taking black figures from the past and present and immortalizing them on canvas in a refreshing way. His art was recently selected for the upcoming exhibit “Red Clay Suvey” at the Huntsville Museum of Art, Alabama.
