About the Item

“Pigeons 15” by Linda Touby, circa 2010. Oil and wax on canvas, 36 x 36 inches. This painting features textural stripes of dark pigments including purple, blue, black, white, and red. This beautiful painting is from Linda Touby's popular Pigeons series, which was inspired by Picasso's work in the south of France. The color palette and richly, textured surface is created through an accumulation of multiple layers of applied oil mixed with wax. The luminous surface create a timeless "fresco" like surface. Touby's abstract paintings are meditative in size and seductive in color. The artist pairs intuitive brushstrokes with bold, horizontal bands of vibrant color offering a sense of balance and harmony. The restrained, calming palette of earth tones gains intensity and an illusion of spatial depth and volume through the artist's employment of Renaissance techniques of layering the surface with wax, dry pigment and thick glazes. At times Touby's wild, visceral brushstrokes reclaim an expressionist spirit. These combined qualities bring her canvases to life, gently pulling the viewer into the depths of the artist’s subconscious. 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.
