Artists Bio
I am a life long painter. I earned a B.Ed. from S.F.U. in Burnaby, B.C.
and I attended the Emily Carr Art University, Vancouver, B.C. My focus is contemporary painting inspired from study at Vancouver Island School of Art, Victoria, B.C. I live in Fairfield where I am an active member of the arts community. I participate in the annual Fairfield Artist Studio Tour, have Active status in the Federation of Canadian Artists and am a member of the Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria.
My work is represented at The Gage Gallery, Oak Bay: http://gagegallery.weebly.com
and the Art Rentals Gallery of Greater Victoria: http://aggv.ca/artrental
Artist’s Statement
Linda Darby, a Victoria artist, is excited to announce her new painting exhibition, “City Light”, at the Gage Gallery Arts Collective, 2031 Oak Bay Avenue. The show runs Oct. 31 to Nov. 18, 2017. Opening reception Thurs Nov. 2, 5 to 8 p.m.
Linda’s new series, “City Light”, looks at the way high density growth has altered our way of seeing light in an ever-changing city landscape. Starting with the elemental forms inherent in urban buildings and skyscrapers, Linda experiments with arrangements of hard–edged forms and shifting planes. She paints using a tonal palette that reflects heightened illumination to evoke a range of meanings and associations of city living. To Linda, painting is about the relationship between image, memory and place. “City Light” offers fresh perspectives, awakening viewers to the beauty of light in our urban location.
