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.
