Coming Soon to Art on View at Darien Library - Linda George

From October 3 to November 9, the “Art on View” at Darien Library will be a collection of abstract paintings by Linda George. The exhibit will be on display in the Library’s Art Gallery, which is located on the Lower Level.

Ms. George is an award-winning artist, whose works have been displayed in numerous venues in Fairfield County. Her paintings are in many collections from New England to California.

 For many years, the artist explored landscape and sill-life, with works ranging from realism to impressionism, however, her main concern has always been color.

Said the artist, “For the last several years, my work has been exclusively non-representational, allowing me more freedom to express my own emotions and to explore the canvas surface and the plasticity of oil paint. Shapes are always present, perhaps subconsciously drawn from years of landscape experience. My present concern is how to preserve the dynamic quality of paint applied with some abandon, yet to construct the work as a cohesive whole.”  Ms. George further states that her major influences have been Bonnard, Diebenkorn and DeKooning.

The Art Gallery is located on the Library’s Lower Lever.

Darien Library is located at 1441 Post Road, Darien, Conn. For more information, visit darienlibrary.org or call 203-655-1234.
