Gallery 725 Presents Solo Exhibition: The Bright Side by Caitlin Flynn
October 3 – November 1, 2025
Opening Reception: October 3 | 5:00–9:00 PM
Gallery725 is pleased to present The Bright Side, a solo
exhibition by acclaimed contemporary artist Caitlin Flynn, on view from
October 3 through November 1, 2025. The exhibition features Flynn’s
evocative body of work, including contemporary figurative pieces, moody
landscapes, and expressive abstract paintings that conjure a sense of “endless
summer” through color, emotion, and memory.
Caitlin Flynn holds a BFA from the University of New Hampshire and an MFA
from Pratt Institute in New York City. She has lived and exhibited
internationally, including in Santiago, Chile and New York, and currently
resides in Neptune Beach, Florida. Flynn teaches drawing at the University of
North Florida and regularly exhibits and sells her work across the United
States. Her paintings are included in notable private collections in California,
New York City, and Ireland.
Flynn’s work is rooted in Abstract Expressionism and the Bay Area Figurative Movement, with influences from
artists such as Wolf Kahn. Working primarily in oil and mixed media, she explores the tension between memory
and perception, creating atmospheric compositions that merge representation with abstraction.
Please join us for the Opening Reception on Friday, October 3, from 5:00 to 9:00 PM, to meet the artist and
experience her vibrant new collection.
“There’s something instantly familiar and comforting about Caitlin Flynn’s
work—like stepping into a memory you didn’t know you had. In The Bright
Side, she captures that sun-soaked feeling of summer, but also the quiet, in-
between moments that stay with you: a hazy sky, a solitary figure, a glimpse
of color that brings you back to a place or feeling.
What I love most about Caitlin’s paintings is how they hold emotion without
explaining it. They’re loose and expressive, but still grounded in something
real. She brings together abstraction, landscape, and figuration in a way that
feels effortless, and yet clearly comes from years of deep exploration and
skill.
We’re so excited to share this body of work at Gallery 725. It’s warm,
moody, reflective—and exactly the kind of art that stays with you long after you’ve seen it.
