Grace Lynne Haynes is a Brooklyn-based artist originally hailing from California. Haynes makes figurative paintings depicting a world of her own creation that examines future possibilities through an Afro-futurist and spiritual lens. She is known for her bold palettes and mystic forms, celebrating the fabulatory stories of Black women—past, present, and to come—reimagining a post-temporal Black feminine world. She has exhibited notably at the 2020 Biennale De Dakar, in Senegal, the Ontario Museum of History, MoCADA and the Harvey B. Gantt Center. She was a part of the inaugural cohort of Kehinde Wiley’s Black Rock Senegal Residency, featured in the PBS series State of the Arts in 2021, and her work has graced the cover of The New Yorker Magazine twice. Haynes’s work has been featured in CNN, ELLE, LA Weekly, New American Paintings, Daily Collector, Whitewall, and Culture Type, and was named in the 2020 edition of Forbes 30 Under 30 in Art & Style. Additionally, her work has been acquired by public institutions such as the Pérez Art Museum, The Bunker Artspace, The California African American Museum, and the X Museum in Beijing, China.
