The Artist
Lindi was
born in Bowdon, Cheshire in 1959 and after bringing up her family,
she went on to pursue a successful career as a professional
artist, exhibited in many galleries and selling her work to
private collectors, worldwide.
Based at
her studio on the 3rd floor at Vernon Mill in Stockport, Lindi's
contemporary paintings are inspired by many of the Old Masters,
and of today's artists, Jenny Saville; yet in contrast to her
morbid reflection of the human form, she admires the romantic
beauty of Pino Daeni's style. Egon Schiele is also a firm favourite
for inspiration.
Lindi's
passion of figurative work is tastefully provocative and sensual;
her land/seascapes are vibrant and atmospheric; all these paintings
are executed in her specialism of dry-brush acrylic, using no
water.
owever,
it is evident that she is also recognised for her work in oils
and mixed media, and her humorous pen illustrations. She uses
her photos and sketches for reference and is also inspired by
proverbs, quotes, poetry text, which she will successfully interpret
into abstract paintings.
In 2006,
she was approached by Dorling Kindersley publishers to use examples
of her work in their art books.
Her artistic
intention is to provoke her audience enough to 'lose' themselves
in what they see and perhaps 'question'.
Much of
her time is devoted to commission enquiries. Her figurative
and landscapes are available as archival quality Signed Limited
Edition Giclée Prints (limited to 100).
