BIO
Linda Streicher is an artist whose paintings and installations study two-dimension representations of architectural spaces. After receiving a Masters in Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania, she worked in architecture in Philadelphia, San Francisco and New Jersey while continuing her painting practice for over twenty years. Most recently, she received a Master of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in 2020. Linda has curated art exhibits for Studio Montclair, ArtSpace in Morristown and Mondo Contemporary in Summit.
STATEMENT
I'm interested in imagined architectural spaces that offer subtly illusionistic and slightly disorienting spatial experiences. Through paintings and installations, I create what at first glance appear to be logical spaces and manipulate them into spaces that play with visual perceptions. Using exaggerated perspective to alter reality and entice the viewer to visually dream-walk through these spaces, I hope to evoke an uncanny and insightful experience.
