About the Item
'Je T'aime 4' by Linda Touby, 2018. Oil on canvas, 48 x 60 inches. This painting features textural, cumulative layers of brushstrokes on a flat field of color. The floating zones of luminous pigments are in colors of red, yellow, and pink. The swaths of color reach out to the very edge of the canvas meeting the pink vertical and horizontal striped bands that borders the painting.
The drama and intensity of the "Je T’aime" series flow from Touby’s intense love for long time husband and renowned 'monster' artist, Basil Gogos, who passed away in the Fall of 2017. The artist's deepest feelings, expressed on canvas, are a celebration of love and an outlet for personal grief. Tapping into personal torment and feelings through her art, Touby deviated from previous works of neatly aligned, uniform color fields. Instead, allowing her raw emotions to shape the work, these paintings incorporate paint drips, splatters, and gestural marks on transparent fields of colors that bleed into each other, often overlaying one contrasting color over another.
A native of Florida, Linda Touby moved to New York as a teenager and earned her BA Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. She thereafter attended The Art Student's League studying under the tutelage of renowned painter Richard Pousette-Dart. Touby has been exhibiting her paintings for the past 30 years and has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions at museums and galleries, both nationally and internationally including the Museum Fur Konkrete Kunst Ingolstadt (1999), Germany, and the US Embassies in Kuwait, Belgrade, Bujumbura Burundi, and Paris. Her paintings have been incorporated in many private and public collections, including General Motors Corporation, Phillips Corporation, Bertholon - Roland Corporation, and the United States State Department in Washington, DC.

Linda Touby
Florida-born painter Linda Touby began her exploration into abstract art at Pratt Institute in New York City, where she earned her BA. She moved on to the Art Students League — where she studied under acclaimed Abstract Expressionst artist Richard Pousette-Dart — and later taught at the National Academy of Art.
Touby largely worked in abstract mode, and the gestural marks and raw, reactive brushtrokes that characterize some of her paintings lend an Expressionist feel to her art. Her evocative “Je T’aime” series of paintings, shown in early 2019, proved to be an outlet for her as she grieved the loss of her husband, artist Basil Gogos, who died in 2017. This series saw Touby working with subdued pastels as often as she was rich layers of red and blue.
Touby had a range of solo exhibitions around the world, including at U.S embassies in the Bahamas, Estonia and Kuwait as well as at American galleries like Alex Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the Tribeca Gallery and Bill Hodges Gallery in New York City. Touby also participated in group exhibitions at museums and galleries around the world such as the Museum für Konkrete Kunst and the Provincetown Museum. Her work is held in the collections of General Motors and the Phillips Corporation.
