Available for immediate delivery in the GTA. Custom handmade red oak float frame included. More from Linds: I'm proud to have shown and sold my work internationally. I am an intuitive painter, I have no idea how each painting will turn out... each of my pieces is unique and one of a kind. I'm not making art that only looks good online, I make it to look incredible IRL, in your space. I personally deliver my work throughout the GTA, and I’m happy to help with framing, shipping estimates, installation – message me and let’s chat! You can also send me pics/measurements of your space, I may be able to create a mock-up of the painting on your wall. If you are in Toronto, come by for a studio visit and see the work in person. And follow me on Instagram (@wonderandstory) to see works in progress and upcoming events. About the work: The After. 2022 The New Normal. It's all a blur for me, these years home, the isolation. But my painting is dramatically different. These new paintings glow. As an abstract painter, I generally have no idea how the final painting will look - my process relies on the nature of my movement. I have a strong interest in organic forms and gravity, these are my most powerful tools. I slowly build layers, controlling what I can, but also seeing how my marks are influenced by water, gravity, my movements. I actively observe change, I respond in the moment. My action helps create the composition, but the final painting is a result of my interaction with my work, not my control of it. There is always a moment when I look and say, oh no, did I just muck it up? Is it ruined? And then I change course, improvise, find a path forward. I see my work as a metaphor for our lives, our place on the Earth. We cannot control everything in our environments - but we do have the power to affect positive change. We can change course, be a force for good, for strength and beauty.
