Biography
Through the influence of both eastern and western cultures, philosophies and practices, Ted Lincoln creates paintings that explore the transitory nature of landscape. Drawing from his background and experience in eastern culture he uses industrial materials such as steel, aluminum, acids and automotive enamel to create landscapes that simultaneously feel strong and illusive. The austere nature of his materials are softened and rendered into contemplative spaces.
A graduate of the San Fransciso Art Institute, Ted is 35, lives in Gainesville, USA, and when not in his studio he can be found riding or fixing his bikes and small engine vehicles.
