RETURN 60 x 48 inches, oil on canvas About Linda Christensen I continue to explore the figure and am looking more consciously at the reasons for doing so. I enjoy working on composition whilst creating obstacles for myself - this challenges me to select different solutions to familiar situations. Sometimes throwing something onto the canvas that has a little immediate connection to the current idea opens up a new awareness. I strive to keep myself interested in the process and therefore a challenge is welcome. Reworking my palette and exploring new color combinations are helping me to question the reason for selecting specific colors. I like the challenge in my awareness of what isn't happening, what isn't being used, what isn't being said and why these are some of the obstacles I set myself. Honesty about myself is a crucial factor in my paintings. My overall desire is to emit emotion through the paint, the line, the contrasts, and composition. Redundancy is the enemy. I want to keep things interesting and with a hint of danger. The danger in the desire to obscure what is already there and what might be a beautiful passage in the painting. Courage to continue growing and recognizing my need for emotional movement is paramount.

Linda Christensen mines the figure for emotional content. Her works are interior, both emotionally and physically. Christensen’s muse is her daughter, whom she photographs in moments of solitude. She begins with a pose and then allows the painting to lead her, responding to the marks on the canvas. She uses color, brushstroke and the posture of her subject to transport the viewer into a private space. Inspired first by the Bay Area Abstract and Figurative traditions, Christensen began to develop her own language, concerning herself with mood and content. Christensen received her art education at UC Santa Cruz, where she raised two daughters and maintains her home and studio. She has been represented by galleries in New York, Laguna Beach, San Francisco, Dallas and Ketchum, Idaho. Donna Seager.

Educación: 1985 Universidad de California, Santa Cruz - Bachelor of Arts. 1986 Universidad de California, Santa Cruz - Certificado de Posgrado, Quinto Año. El objetivo perseguido por Christensen en sus obras no es abrir los mundos internos de sus modelos. Ella sabe muy bien que estos reinos son sagrados y fundamentalmente subjetivos, exclusivos. Simplemente representa a los modelos en su entorno de manera gestual, al mismo tiempo que los pone en primer plano y oscurece. A menudo, las figuras no tienen rostro, su carga emocional expresada a través de elementos menos llamativos como la interacción de los acentos de color caliente y los baños más fríos y chillones en el óleo, que se integran en áreas pintorescas deliberadamente abstractas e incompletas. Esto invita a la curiosidad pero no dice nada. Está bien no saberlo todo sobre el otro. Trabajando intuitivamente mientras aplica la pintura, Christensen construye la superficie del plano de la imagen con capas de pinceladas lisas y muestras de impasto grueso, sólo para luego raspar de nuevo y cortar en esta base con la espátula. La espátula le permite moverse rápidamente, espontáneamente y sin mucho detalle. Mientras que el artista presta atención al equilibrio de contraste entre la línea, la marca de pincel, formas variadas y espacio, así como al contenido de la información, el proceso no es de ninguna manera artificial: "Mientras estoy en el proceso de aplicación de la pintura, No tengo ningún destino”. Hay una fisicalidad rítmica en las obras de Christensen debido a esto, que es paralelo en las figuras mismas. Sus perspectivas interiores se comunican a través de su postura y postura física, su corporeidad. Como una bailarina en su tiempo libre, Christensen aprecia la inseparabilidad de la mente y el cuerpo, y abarca la naturaleza fisiológica de la emoción.
