“The eternal debate of opposites provoked discontent within each of them. Perhaps the clue is not a priority, but in harmony - one without the other does not need very own. Moreover the opposition loses motivation at the time of maximum triumph.” - Nikolai Petrov
North Gallery
Linda DeLuca Gli Amici
Opening Reception: Thursday, August 5, 7-10PM
This new series of work has evolved into a new style for me of portraits of friends and family. I have had the opportunity to have sitting sessions with the subjects and have used some documentation working from my home. The process was spontaneous and the works have a rawness. All the works are on canvas using acrylic paint. A vast source of artists inspired me from Lucian Freud to David Hockney. There is a sense of time, “frozen”, into the sitters’ expressions. The use of vivid colours and patterns give the portraits a unique and refreshing aesthetic creating interesting results.
