“My work is grounded in the Mythopoetic,” Flint explains. “Through research and observation, I’m looking to convey the richness of my experience.” His paintings synthesize figures, landscapes, and architecture into environments that are at once familiar and unexpected, inviting viewers into spaces where reality is subtly punctuated by the extraordinary.
Influenced by the narrative principles sometimes referred to as “Well’s Law”, the idea that a single unreal phenomenon can transform an otherwise ordinary world, Flint approaches painting as a form of visual storytelling. Like myths themselves, the works introduce moments of disruption that shift perception and illuminate deeper truths about human experience. Contradiction becomes fertile terrain, reflecting the layered, nonlinear nature of identity and memory.
This exhibition continues an exploration that has animated Flint’s practice for nearly two decades. Guided by intuition as much as intention, he allows imagery to emerge through sketches, digital studies, and the evolving act of painting itself. Many compositions resolve in ways that cannot be preplanned, resulting in works that feel both mysterious and deeply relatable.
“As I’ve gotten older, myths seem more relevant and insightful than ever,” Flint says. “They punctuate mundanity with an extraordinary moment that spins the story into an uncanny place. Moving away from reality can help us better understand it.”
