Lynn Boggess Solo Show at Principle Gallery
West Virginia painter Lynn Boggess, known for applying paint with cement trowels, has a solo exhibition at Principle Gallery in Alexandria, VA. The show opened April 24, 2026, and is expected to run for a month. Boggess's thick impasto technique blurs the line between painting and sculpture, navigating between naturalism and abstraction. He was first featured on Lines and Colors in 2014, where his method of using trowels—not just painting knives—was highlighted. The current exhibition continues his exploration of heavily textured landscapes.
