Linda Touby Art

American, 1946-2021

Florida-born painter Linda Touby began her exploration into abstract art at Pratt Institute in New York City, where she earned her BA. She moved on to the Art Students League — where she studied under acclaimed Abstract Expressionst artist Richard Pousette-Dart — and later taught at the National Academy of Art

Touby largely worked in abstract mode, and the gestural marks and raw, reactive brushtrokes that characterize some of her paintings lend an Expressionist feel to her art. Her evocative “Je T’aime” series of paintings, shown in early 2019, proved to be an outlet for her as she grieved the loss of her husband, artist Basil Gogos, who died in 2017. This series saw Touby working with subdued pastels as often as she was rich layers of red and blue.

Touby had a range of solo exhibitions around the world, including at U.S embassies in the Bahamas, Estonia and Kuwait as well as at American galleries like Alex Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the Tribeca Gallery and Bill Hodges Gallery in New York City. Touby also participated in group exhibitions at museums and galleries around the world such as the Museum für Konkrete Kunst and the Provincetown Museum. Her work is held in the collections of General Motors and the Phillips Corporation.

Homage to Giotto XXXX
By Linda Touby
Located in San Francisco, CA
Oil and wax on linen hand-signed lower right Linda 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 gains intensity and an illusion of spatial depth and volume through the artist's employment of the Renaissance technique of layering the surface with wax, dry pigment and thick glazes. At times Touby's wild, visceral brushstrokes even harness 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, Touby moved to New York as a teenager where she began her studies at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. She continued training at the Art Student's League and later the National Academy of Art. Touby's works have been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions at museums and galleries internationally including the Museum Fur Konkrete Kunst Ingolstadt (1999), Germany. Her paintings are also housed in several permanent collections including the U.S. State department, Washington D.C. Linda Touby is represented by our contemporary gallery, CK Contemporary
