SO Fine Art Editions is delighted to present a solo exhibition by artist John O’Flynn. Following his inclusion in our group show New Wave and his 2025 solo presentation Souvenirs at Flux Studios, Dublin, O’Flynn brings a new body of work to the gallery entitled ‘Painting Air’.

The semi-abstract paintings in this exhibition draw inspiration from significant moments from O’Flynn’s everyday life. He describes them as “moments where I found peace, excitement, hope and the ineffable.” His work fuses reality, memory and imagination, portraying scenes that reflect both the world around us and the world within us. The resulting paintings evoke the magic and elusiveness of fleeting experiences, preserving emotions and atmospheres that often resist description. They invite the viewer to consider the challenge of capturing the invisible: the warmth and coolness of the air and quality of light that surround and animate the physical world. His practice draws on influences from both Impressionism and Graffiti, which he has refined into a distinctive and recognisable visual language.
