Linda Christensen
“I continue to explore the figure and am looking more consciously at the reasons fordoing so. I enjoy working on composition whilst creating obstacles for myself – thischallenges me to select different solutions to familiar situations.
“Sometimes throwing something onto the canvas that has little immediate connection tothe current idea opens up a new awareness. I strive to keep myself interested in the
process and therefore a challenge iswelcome. Reworking my palette andexploring new color combinations is helping me to question the reason forselecting specific colors.
“I like the challenge in my awareness ofwhat isn’t happening, what isn’t beingused, what isn’t being said and why,these are some of the obstacles I set myself.
“Honesty about myself is a crucial factor in my paintings. My overall desire is to emitemotion through the paint, the line, the contrasts and composition. Redundancy is theenemy. I want to keep things interesting and with a hint of danger. Danger in thedesire to obscure what is already there and what might be a beautiful passage in thepainting. Courage to continue growing and recognizing my need for emotionalmovement is paramount.”
