Artspace @ MONDO Summit

Join us for this unique opportunity to meet Linda Streicher, local artist and PCMNJ member, as she shares work from her exhibit "SPATIAL CONCEPTS".

"The reason I'm painting, and what I'm painting, especially the work in this show, is directly linked to my architecture school experience. It's a result of my preoccupation throughout grad school with using 2D means to design 3D inhabitable spaces and a desire to add another sense (perception and more precisely something metaphysical) into the design."

Biography

Linda Streicher (CAS '88, W '88, GSFA '93, PAR '19, PAR '21) is an oil painter who brings a distinct architectural voice to her works in which she creates abstract and surreal spaces. Upon receiving undergraduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania in business and fine arts, Linda worked for Sotheby's while painting at the Art Students League in the evenings. She received her Masters in Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania and worked in architecture in Philadelphia while painting at Fleisher Memorial, and later in San Francisco while painting at CCSF Fort Mason. Currently, Linda paints out of her studio in Morristown, NJ and shows her work throughout the metropolitan area. She co-curates art exhibits for the Hyatt at Headquarters Plaza and conducts workshops at ArtSpace in Morristown.

"The process of painting for me begins with a query. I then transpose and respond to the query visually by generating a minimal composition composed of lines and planes. Through layers and layers of paint and graphite I traverse the structure. I explore how the lines, planes and subjects interact and change over time as they tilt, move, cast shadows and reflect light. My quest rarely answers the query, but with each painting I gain greater insight."
