About the Item
The artists believe one's path in search of harmony is an arduous one. The connection we have with each other and our surroundings is not always seen in the physical realm, but the energy between is undeniable. Balancing the androgynous male and female energies the artists' use stylistic color fields. In their practice the artists achieve the illusion of 3D on 2D aluminum sheet metal from using their original artist process known as Metalagram.
This work was developed at the intersection of art + science using old world techniques + 21st century technology. The artists create sculpturally in layers rendering a dimensional interactive experience. The Metalagram work appears differently from 180 degree vantage points and at varying angles of incidence as photons dance across the work.
Viewers' perception of the work changes as one physically navigates around the work. Spot and colored lighting create visual delights, enhance and add variety while not necessarily being a part of the work.
The artists debuted Metalagram works during Art Basel Miami week 2012. These works have received numerous awards including Best of Show for Art, Innovation & Design from the Beverly Hills, CA Fine Art Show. They have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally, including in: Paris, France; New York, NY; Los Angeles, CA; Miami, FL; Tuscany, Italy; London, England. In 2023 the artists' taught during their artists residency at Cranbrook, one of the world's leading centers of education, science, and art.

Linda's friends and family share stories of her constant - painting, drawing, and doodling. However, it wasn't until age 50 that Linda wholeheartedly embraced her visual generative art practice as her life's mission. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Literature, Science & Arts College at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, and obtained her JD in 1979. Collaborating with her eldest son Theodore (Teddy) Schinkel in 2010, her artistic journey evolved. Linda, an outsider artist, had artistic education from multiple institutions, including the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, Sorbonne University of Paris, Paris France, National Geographic in Siena Italy and a National Geographic Around the World Photography Intensive. She had a residency at the Ox-Bow School of Art, Saugatuck MI and an Artist Residency at Cranbrook, Bloomfield Hills MI, a renowned center for art, education, and science. Linda's works exude a captivating blend of synergy and sublime metaphysical connections. Enjoying gallery representation since 2004, Linda's artistry has been featured in "Style" and "Ambassador" magazines before publishing as an artist duo in "The Wall Street Journal," "USA Today," and "World Wide Art Books." Linda attributes the uniqueness of her works and trajectory to following in her parents' footsteps, leveraging right and left brain hemispheres. Linda was honored with the 49th Distinguished Women’s Award from Northwood University, Midland MI.
