The exhibition opens March 2 and runs through March 22, 2019 with an opening reception on Thursday, March 7 from 6-8 pm. Any art lover who enjoys thought-provoking artworks and meeting talented and interesting artists is encouraged to attend.

About the Artist

Diana Linsse is a German painter who has always been fascinated by images. Linsse is primarily an abstract painter, though like Picasso she believes that “everything you can imagine is real.” She paints by layering modeling paste, acrylic paint, ink, pastels, and charcoal on the canvas. She extracts objects and forms from their usual context and rearranges them in new settings. By doing this, Linsse hopes to achieve unexpected new harmonies and relationships of form and color. The products of this method are beautiful improvised landscapes like “Roots and Wings” and “Flow,” among others.

Linsse has always been naturally drawn to painting. She began to pursue it as a teenager, but experienced great disappointment when she won fourth place in an important art competition. While the three winners went on to prestigious art universities, she decided to focus on another field of study. But although she wished to move on from painting, painting did not wish to move on from her. Linsse did not feel content until she returned to painting full time as an adult.

About the Exhibition

Roots and Wings is a group exhibition featuring twelve artists, for whom every work rests somewhere on the continuum between figuration and abstraction, expressing the conatus of human aspiration as something that continually seeks recognition by others.
