Following her recent Spotlight show in January 2025, we will present two new paintings at Art Basel 2025, ahead of her debut solo exhibition in the gallery's new premises on Hanover Square, Mayfair, in Spring 2027.
Lynch's practice is grounded in a deep, intuitive relationship with the natural world. Working directly in the landscape with pastel on paper, she captures fleeting impressions of place with immediacy and clarity. These spontaneous drawings form the foundation of her studio work, where they are translated into richly textured oil paintings and prints. Through this process of transformation - from observation to memory, from paper to canvas - Lynch creates more-than-geographical landscapes that are as emotionally resonant as they are visually compelling.
Rooted in a sense of place - windswept moors, mountain paths, wide skies - Lynch's paintings are not literal depictions but emotional distillations through colour and composition. Returning often to familiar sites, she captures how both land and perception shift over time. These works convey a layered sense of memory and change, balancing clarity with ambiguity. Through expressive brushwork, bold colour and textured surfaces, she evokes scenes that feel both deeply personal and collectively familiar. Often unpopulated, her landscapes still bear subtle signs of human presence: the curve of a path, a distant fence, a pair of swimmers stilled in the water, absorbed into the quiet drama of their surroundings.
Born in 1995 in North West England, Sammi Lynch now lives and works in London. She studied at Manchester School of Art and Kingston School of Art, and is a graduate of 'The Drawing Year', a postgraduate scholarship program at the Royal Drawing School, London. Her inaugural solo show was at Blue Shop Gallery and her first European solo show took place at Solito Gallery, Naples. Lynch's work has since been selected for a number of notable group exhibitions, including 'As She Is', curated by Rejina Pyo at Soho Revue. April 2025 marked her US debut with a two-person show at Scroll Gallery in New York and she will present new work in a forthcoming exhibition in Canada in Autumn 2025. Previous UK exhibitions include Annely Juda Fine Art, Lychee One, Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and London Original Print Fair. A recent collaboration with Burberry - designing a series of limited edition silk scarves - was shortlisted for the V&A Illustration Award.
At Art Basel 2025, Annely Juda Fine Art will present two new oils, including Two Trees over Water. In 2027, we will host Sammi Lynch's debut solo exhibition in our new premises at 16 Hanover Square, London Mayfair.
