Alan Lynch (artist)

Alan Lynch in 1962

Alan Lynch (August 27, 1926–April 15, 1994) was an American painter associated with post-war California art.

Throughout the 1950s, he was active amongst artists living in Los Angeles, where he worked alongside artists Robert Irwin, Craig Kauffman, Billy al Bengston, and others associated with Ferus Gallery..[1][2]. Throughout the 1960s, he would exhibit with Dilexi Gallery in San Francisco before withdrawing from commercial exhibitions in favor of maintaining a private artistic practice throughout the 1970s until his death in 1994[3]

Though his work remained in obscurity after 1969, figures like Irwin[4] and Kauffman regarded him as an early influence and catalyst for their engagement with spiritual philosophies[5][6]
