Linnie Brown

Consensus of the Mediocre, Abstract Painting

2021

Artist Comments
"This piece evokes multiple locations simultaneously as a way to visualize the impact and accumulation of experiences tied to those places," states artist Linnie Brown. After arranging several geometrical shapes, Linnie continues to modify and layer additional imagery, allowing the process to determine the final complex image. "The title refers to the idea that so much of who we are is in the process of mundane, mediocre events over time."

About the Artist
Linnie Brown is an artist based in Utah who creates mixed-media artworks using collage, paint, printmaking, and drawing. The significant places and locations from her life are a recurring theme throughout her portfolio. Linnie uses stencils that allude to significant places from her own life, including the floor plans of buildings and the boundaries of cities. She cuts these shapes out of paper for collage or traces them directly onto the panel or paper. She then builds the layers based on her intuition. To Linnie, every person is an accumulation of his or her past, and the memories of specific places such as former homes, schools, and cities, have a great influence on the way that person currently views and engages in life.
