About the Item

This piece titled "Black Egg" is an original artwork by PJ Linden and is made from acrylic, dimensional paint on canvas. This piece measures 54”h x 54”w. The direction of PJ Linden’s current practice took root in the aughts. She quickly became known for her abstract, often three-dimensional work, painting with machine-like precision, creating microscopic patterns on found objects, fashion, and technology. She also became known for her street art under the name Wonderpuss Octopus, taking her career in multiple directions that have all come together again over the years. Linden's work has caught the eye of celebrity clients including Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Willow Smith, Kelly Osborne, and Solange Knowles. In this original egg series, Linden sparks the conversation of the beginning of life and the beginning of art through a story of unfertilized eggs, commenting on being a lesbian and not picturing a “common” journey for herself, adding a patterned background of tossed aside birth control. Inspired by a classification of crustacea, which reproduces asexually or produces eggs without the need for fertilization by a male, Linden aims to magnify present and future mutations. Born 1985 Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. PJ Linden is a New York City and Pennsylvania-based fine artist known for her abstract, three-dimensional work.
