Early life and education

Glynn was born and raised in Miami, Florida and learned to paint while working at her father's set design shop. [8]

She graduated with a BFA from Tufts University in 2014 and with an MFA from Columbia University in 2017. During graduate school, Glynn medically transitioned from male to female. [9] [10]

Work

Glynn was a 2017–2018 Artist Fellow at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art. [11]

In 2019, Glynn had a show at the non-profit gallery Participant, Inc. Titled The Future is Fiction, the show included paintings, drawings, videos, and photography, in each Glynn used her body as a medium to contemplate and probe categories such as "nature," "female," and "human." [12] Glynn uses the transfeminine form in against fast changing ecologies, claiming that climate change is not only as a problem of representation, but also as a threat to essentialist gender ideologies, such as who will be allocated certain resources before others.

Later that year, Glynn delivered a talk on the artist and writer Claude Cahun as part of the New Museum's 2019 Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon.

In 2020, Glynn's solo show at OCDChinatown featured one colossus-like self-portrait. Actress Hari Nef describes the painting, Self Portrait with One Foot Forward and One Hand Reaching Out. [2]

Glynn had her first solo exhibition on the West Coast of the USA at Vielmetter Gallery in 2022. Titled, Interiors, the ten-work show had some of her largest paintings to-date. Critic Sarah Nicole Prickett wrote of her work, they are: "scenic, frameable, and ruled by perspective; the inside world is paradoxically vast and unbounded." [13] Glynn says that the show is full of contradictions and she tried, "to play with the sense that there is no negative space. That the spaces between things are as deeply definitive as the things themselves." [14]

In 2023, Glynn exhibited two paintings at OCDChinatown gallery alongside paintings by the artist and poet Ser Serpas and the photographer Sam Penn (which included images of writer Thora Siemsen, a muse in Nan Goldin's work). [15] [16] [17]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Jessica Stockholder</span> American artist

Jessica Stockholder is a Canadian-American artist known for site-specific installation works and sculptures that are often described as "paintings in space." She came to prominence in the early 1990s with monumental works that challenged boundaries between artwork and display environment as well as between pictorial and physical experience. Her art often presents a "barrage" of bold colors, textures and everyday objects, incorporating floors, walls and ceilings and sometimes spilling out of exhibition sites. Critics suggest that her work is informed by diverse artistic traditions, including abstract expressionism, color field painting, minimalism and Pop art. Since her early career, they have noted in her work an openness to spontaneity, accident and marginality and a rejection of permanency, monetization and disciplinary conventions that Stephen Westfall characterized as an "almost shocking sense of freedom."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Valerie Hegarty</span> American artist (born 1967)

Valerie Hegarty is an American painter, sculptor, and installation artist. She is known for irreverent, often critical works that replicate canonical paintings, furnishings, and architectural spaces from American or personal history undergoing various processes of transformation. Hegarty most often portrays her recreations in meticulously realized, trompe l’oeil states of decay, ruin, or physical attack related to their circumstances. Her work examines American historical themes involving colonization, slavery, Manifest Destiny, nationalism, art-historical movements and their ideological tenets, romantic conceptions of nature, and environmental degradation. Sculpture critic Robin Reisenfeld wrote that among other things, Hegarty's art is "informed by 19th-century American landscape painting as an expression of the sublime, as well as by the manufacturing of two-dimensional 'masterworks' to be destroyed in three-dimensional fashion in order to evoke entropic forces of growth and decay."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Arlene Shechet</span> American sculptor

Arlene Shechet is an American sculptor known for her inventive, gravity-defying arrangements and experimental use of diverse materials. Critics describe her work as both technical and intuitive, hybrid and polymorphous, freely mixing surfaces, finishes, styles and references to create visual paradoxes. Her abstract-figurative forms often function as metaphors for bodily experience and the human condition, touching upon imperfection and uncertainty with humor and pathos. New York Times critic Holland Cotter wrote that her career "has encompassed both more or less traditional ceramic pots and wildly experimental abstract forms: amoebalike, intestinal, spiky, sexual, historically referential and often displayed on fantastically inventive pedestals … this is some of the most imaginative American sculpture of the past 20 years."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Brenda Zlamany</span> American painter and portraitist (born 1959)

Brenda Zlamany is an American artist best known for portraiture that combines Old Master technique with a postmodern conceptual approach. She gained attention beginning in the 1990s, when critics such as Artforum's Barry Schwabsky, Donald Kuspit and John Yau identified her among a small group of figurative painters reviving the neglected legacies of portraiture and classical technique by introducing confrontational subject matter, psychological insight and social critique. Her early portraits of well-known male artists, such as Chuck Close and Leon Golub, reversed conventional artist/sitter gender and power dynamics; her later projects upend the traditionally "heroic" nature of portraiture by featuring underrepresented groups and everyday people.

Betsy Kaufman is a visual artist based in New York known for abstract paintings and works on paper, as well as needlepoint sculptures. Critics distinguish her work by its subversion of modernist systems and its insertion of strong emotion, humor, and narrative into geometric abstraction. Writer Ingrid Schaffner observed that Kaufman's paintings are "inherently based on disruption … She has made the accidents, oppositions, contradictions, and mercurialness, which most organizing impulses work hard to minimize, into the rationale that guides the unpredictable and forceful narrative of her abstractions." Kaufman has exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, Musée d’art moderne de Saint-Etienne (France), Queens Museum of Art, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart (Germany) and the Tang Museum, among other venues.
