linda hofheinz
DESCRIPTION
Camille and Debra Samara are honored to welcome Houston artist Linda Hofheinz to SAMARA Gallery. Linda’s paintings are a fusion of the everyday and the mystical – depicted with rich and sensual realism, with touches of wry humor and humanity. Her work is entrenched in mythology, astronomy, music, poetry and romanticism. Science and interpretations of the cosmos are a recurring theme in her art. The paintings from the constellation series are a contemporary reflection on an ancient theme. These paintings combine many diverse cultural elements to reinterpret images first “seen” in the patterns of stars eons ago and light years away. A constant in her work is the spiritual dimension of realms unseen and realities waiting to be made manifest.TRANSCRIPT
