Lynn Jaanz is an internationally acclaimed artist who has received many awards, certificates and honourable mentions for her artwork. She has been featured in publications such as the Artist’s Palette Magazine, MANUKA Magazines and Melbourne Observer, and has also appeared on Lethbridge Gallery’s website as a Lethbridge 10,000 finalist for her painting, ‘Rapture’.
As an established and well-known prophetic artist, Lynn regularly exhibits around the world and has sold her works internationally for over two decades. Her masterworks are bought as statement pieces as part of interior design projects for luxurious homes, while others are commissioned and sold to celebrities, investors and art collectors.
Lynn’s art is appreciated for its unique and fresh approach to abstract, with its underlying interpretations of spirituality and perception of a higher power. Her work has the ability to touch one’s heart and soul as her art translates significant meaning and sovereignty straight from the canvas.
Growing up in Australia, art has always been part of Lynn's life as she was surrounded by nature, beauty and artistic inspiration. Undoubtedly, this was a big reason why Lynn began to paint. However, after having travelled to Italy in the 80’s and seeing such inspiring paintings and beauty of the countryside, Lynn was left with vivid images in her mind. These visions have been interpreted and still appear through some of Lynn’s paintings.
Behind the joy of painting, Lynn spent years battling a chronic illness. Painting became a big part of her healing process as doctors instructed to use painting as a form of recovery. Her illness and miraculous recovery drew Lynn to the world of the supernatural. Today, her work reflects the way she sees life with all of its colour and beauty. From rich warm hues to cool tones, Lynn searches the unknown phenomenon and psychic of the human condition, and explores the complexities of living.
Lynn taps into a truly unique style of curves, with the use of colour in erratic, speedy, busy tumultuous ways. Through fine lines and outlines of curves, Lynn’s search of higher power in all his glory is what she is celebrated for. This concept, within Lynn’s work, strongly reflects the connection between the human condition and the supernatural or spiritual. Her themes express man’s search for meaning, search for God and the tragedy of living. The overriding theme is of man being lost in the insanity of life, only to find redemption and salvation. As Lynn describes it, “Man is searching for meaning, searching for hope, searching for love, searching for significance in his perpetual state of confusion”. Lynn’s art gives hope and rejoices the light amongst the darkness.
Described as an Impressionist Abstract Colourist, Lynn is renowned for representing the journey of life extensively, as the topics of birth, death, heartache, sorrow, joy, love and eternity are depicted by the recurrent images of crosses and colours. Lynn uses extreme and strong colour, textures and imagery to reinforce the different stages of life, and the emotional conditions that come with it. The commotion expressed in her works depicts the myriad of experiences and sentiments on the journey. With close observation, art lovers can identify the varied durations, and dramatic and poignant strokes. Her freehand style displays life in its fullness. Through these techniques, Lynn takes aestheticians on a journey within each colour, with all its power, beauty and majesty. Her vision is to give the viewer a sense of joy and peace in a world that is so full of fear.
In addition to her artistry, Lynn launched her new book titled ‘A Journey from Heaven to Healing’ in February 2017. After having many near-death experiences, Lynn wrote this book to tell the story of her journey. Inspired by those struggling with what life has thrown at them, Lynn hoped to enthuse and nourish the souls of her readers with her words and art images shown throughout the book.
