They Refuse to Be Outside, Abstract Painting

2020

Artist Comments
"This piece features a grouping of simplified, architectural shapes on a minimalist white background," shares artist Linnie Brown. "Rather than depicting one specific place, my art evokes multiple locations simultaneously as a way to visualize the impact and accumulation of many places."

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.
