Sylvio Lynch III is a Richmond, VA (USA) based visual artist who primarily uses technical approaches in drawing to explore hyperrealism and abstraction. Lynch has an M.A. in American Studies from the University of Alabama, where he explored the collision of 1970s interventionist art and street art. He has a Ph.D. in American Culture Studies from Bowling Green State University, where his research explored the depth and significance of Norman Rockwell’s artistry.

Inspired by hyperrealist painters and the craft of architectural drafting in equal parts, from graphite and charcoal to watercolor or colored pencil, Lynch’s compositions are expressions of control and emotion. From corporate collaborations to small business, to public art, Lynch’s works reveal a sense of place, or snapshots of moments, movements in form.
