Bo Lanyon’s work explores an entangled landscape of experience. Influenced by both the history of expressionist painting & contemporary culture, paintings are built from layers of intense, gestural colour, as precise, illustrative elements hover in the foreground.
Lanyon holds an MA from the Royal College of Art, has work in the Zabludowicz Collection and has received a number of awards from Arts Council England. Recent projects include A St. Ives Legacy, a podcast for Bricks featuring musician Gwenno & artists Lucy Stein & Hannah Murgatroyd.
Group exhibitions include: In Absentia, an online group show of nearly 60 painters from around the world, 14 February–28 May 2021; The London Bronze Collection, Squire & Partners, London (2019); The First World War and Its Legacy: Commemoration, Conflict and Conscience Festival, Bristol Cathedral and M-Shed, (2019); Where It Is, There It Is, Auction House, Redruth, Groundwork Programme (2018); Plymouth Contemporary 2017, Peninsula Arts and KARST, Plymouth (2017); Kith and Kin, Falmouth Art Gallery and Museum, Falmouth (2016).
Solo exhibitions include: The Death of Optimus Prime, Test Space at Spike Island, Bristol (2019); Age of Panic, White Moose Gallery, Barnstaple (2017).
