Beyond the Canvas: The Stories Within Lynn Samis’s Art at Brumbaugh’s Furniture and Design
At Brumbaugh’s Furniture and Design, we believe a home is more than just beautiful furniture; it’s a reflection of the people who live there and the stories they tell. That’s why we’re captivated by the work of artist Lynn Samis, whose paintings delve into the heart of human connection and shared experience. We’re proud to showcase her evocative art in our dedicated gallery space, inviting you to discover the beauty and depth of her unique vision.
Capturing the Essence of Humanity:
Lynn Samis’s art is a celebration of our shared humanity. “I’ve always been captivated by people—their faces, stories, and the threads that connect us all,” she says. Her portraits transcend the individual, reaching for a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. With each brushstroke, she seeks to reveal the essence of her subjects, inviting viewers to connect with their stories and recognize a piece of themselves in the process.
A Legacy of Inspiration:
Samis’s artistic journey is deeply intertwined with her family history. Inspired by photographs taken by her grandfather on his world tour in 1923-1924, she breathes new life into these images, forging a connection across generations and cultures. “Those images are family history to me,” she shares, “they’re a connection to another time and to people I’ll never meet but feel deeply linked to.” Through her art, she honors her grandfather, the people in his photographs, and the enduring legacy of human connection.
Timeless and Transcendent:
Working primarily in oils and acrylics on canvas and wood panels, Samis employs a distinctive style that blends abstract and realist elements. Her backgrounds are often abstract washes of color, while her subjects are rendered with a focus on capturing their emotional depth rather than precise detail. “My goal isn’t high realism,” she explains. “I prefer an abstract realism that allows my subjects to resonate with viewers as individuals, not just faces.” This approach creates a sense of timelessness, allowing her subjects to transcend their specific context and connect with viewers on a universal level.
Bridging Cultures, Finding Common Ground:
In today’s increasingly divided world, Samis’s work serves as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity. Her paintings bridge cultures and backgrounds, inviting us to recognize the common threads that unite us all. “My work bridges between cultures as a reminder of our common ground, which is especially meaningful to me,” she says. “It speaks to those who believe everyone deserves a place and a voice.”
